Question

Write the first six term of the sequence

a0 = 46

an = an-1 - 8

Answer 1

46, 38, 30, 22, 14, 6

Explanation:

Recursive formula of the given sequence is given as,

`a_(0)=46`

`a_(n)=a_(n-1)-8`

Which means first term of the sequence = 46

Second term of the sequence = 46 - 8 = 38

Third term = 38 - 8 = 30

Fourth term = 30 - 8 = 22

Fifth term = 22 - 8 = 14

Sixth term = 14 - 8 = 6

Therefore, first six terms of the sequence will be,

46, 38, 30, 22, 14, 6
