Question

Look at the arithmetic sequence below. Use the boxes to create a recursive formula for the sequence. 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33... Response area =

Answer 1

we have:

u(1) = 18

u(2) = 21 = 18 + 3

u(3) = 24 = 18 + 3.2

u(4) = 27 = 18 + 3.3

.......

=> the sequence has: u(1) = 18

d = 3

=> u(n) = 18 + 3(n - 1) = 3n + 15

so the recursive formula for the sequence is u(n) = 3n + 15
