Question

An=11+(n-1)(4)
how do you write this in the recursive formula?

Answer 1

The answer is

`\begin{cases}A_1 = 11 \\ A_(n) = A_(n-1)+4\end{cases}`
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is
`A_1 = 11`. The next part of the rule, which says
`A_(n) = A_(n-1)+4` is the recursive part. To get the nth term, we add on 4 to the previous (n-1) term. For example, to get the fifth term, you add on 4 to the fourth term. Relying solely on this recursive definition means we need to find all of the previous terms (from 1 to n-1) in order to find a given nth term.
