Identify the explicit function for the sequence in the table

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all of the equation have (n-1), you can replace the expression "n-1 when x=1" as 0. The only equation where a(1) still equals 8, is b.

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2 -1 

translation is a function transformation that transform the function in a way of translating. by translating the function its graph is moved  up an down. moving the function f(x) 2 units to the left will be the new function g(x) with the equation: g(x)=f(x+2)=2(x+2)^2 -1
