what is the explicit formula of the arithmetic sequence shown in the graph?

\\(a_n =\\)

options:

• \\(800 + (n - 1)28,000\\)
• \\(800 + (n - 1)31,200\\)
• \\(28,000 + (n - 1)800\\)
• \\(31,200 + (n - 1)800\\)

Answer:

• \(800 + (n - 1)28,000\)
• \(800 + (n - 1)31,200\)
• \(28,000 + (n - 1)800\) (Correct answer)
• \(31,200 + (n - 1)800\)
