HURRY --- this is khan!

Answer 1

Answer: -10 the other person was right, but khan orders them different

Answer 2

h(n)=96-1(n-1)

Explanation:

From the recursive formula, we can tell that the first term of the sequence is

96 and the common difference is -1.

This is the explicit formula of the sequence:

h(n)=96-1(n-1)

Note that this solution strategy results in this formula, however an equally correct solution can be written in other equivalent forms as well.
