Given the Recursive Formula:

Question

a1 = 5
a4 = an−1 +2
What is the common difference? Response area
What is the initial term? Response area

What term is this formula solving for? Response area

What should be in place of the n-1? Response area
5
2
3
4

Answer 1

The common difference is 2. The initial term is 5.

This formula is solving for the term at position n.

In place of the n-1, should be 4.
