John has a golf score of 140. Each time he plays, the score decreases by 4. Which of the following sequences can represent this situation?
{140, 136, 132, 128...}
{140, 144, 148, 152...}
{4, 8, 12, 16...}
{4, 0, -4, -8...}
The correct sequence that represents John's situation is {140, 136, 132, 128...}
To find the correct sequence that represents the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time, we need to look for a sequence that follows this pattern.
Let's analyze each given sequence:
{140, 136, 132, 128...}
In this sequence, the score decreases by 4 each time, just like the given information. Therefore, this sequence can represent the situation.
{140, 144, 148, 152...}
In this sequence, the score increases by 4 each time, which is the opposite of what we're looking for. Therefore, this sequence does not represent the situation.
{4, 8, 12, 16...}
In this sequence, the score increases consistently by 4 each time, which is also the opposite of the given information. Therefore, this sequence does not represent the situation.
{4, 0, -4, -8...}
In this sequence, the score decreases by 4 each time, just like the given information. Therefore, this sequence can represent the situation.
Based on the analysis, the correct sequences that represent the situation are:
{140, 136, 132, 128...} and {4, 0, -4, -8...}
The correct sequence that represents this situation is:
{140, 136, 132, 128...}
