    Correct Answer
    A. This is a first order difference equation in common form
    Explanation
    The given statement is a first order difference equation in common form. A first order difference equation is an equation that relates the current value of a variable to its previous value. The common form of a first order difference equation is expressed as y(n) = a*y(n-1) + b, where y(n) is the current value, y(n-1) is the previous value, and a and b are constants. Since the statement follows this form, it can be identified as a first order difference equation in common form.

    Correct Answer
    A. This is a first order difference equation in common form
    Explanation
    The given statement is a first order difference equation in common form. A first order difference equation is an equation that relates the value of a variable at a certain time to its value at a previous time. In common form, the equation is written as a linear equation with the variable on one side and constants on the other side. Since the statement does not mention any need for rearranging or state that it is not a first order difference equation, we can conclude that it is a first order difference equation in common form.

    Correct Answer
    A. This is a first order difference equation in common form
    Explanation
    The given statement is a first order difference equation in common form. A first order difference equation is an equation that relates a variable to its past values and possibly other variables. The common form of a first order difference equation is expressed as y(n) = a*y(n-1) + b, where y(n) is the current value of the variable, y(n-1) is the previous value, and a and b are constants. Since the statement follows this form, it can be classified as a first order difference equation in common form.

    • This is a first order difference equation that needs rearranging

    • This is not a first order difference equation at all

    Correct Answer
    A. This is a first order difference equation in common form
    Explanation
    The given statement is a first order difference equation in common form because it represents an equation that relates the current value of a variable to its previous value. A first order difference equation is characterized by the presence of a single difference operator, which in this case is represented by the "common form" of the equation. The equation may need further rearranging or simplification, but it still follows the basic structure of a first order difference equation.
