Use a strategy for the following problem(and i seriously need ): in a sequence of numbers, each number in the sequence is called a term. in the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, the first term is 1, the second term is 3, the third term is 5, the fourth term is 7 and the fifth term is 9. in another sequence, the first term is 26. if a term in the sequence is even, then the next term will be half the value of that term. if a term in the sequence is odd, then the next term in the sequence is one more than three times that term. by following these rules, the first three terms of this sequence are 26, 13 and 40. is the twenty-sixth term of the sequence odd or even. justify your answer.

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

answer: sine
