Question

Use the recursive formula to answer the question. What’s the 7th term in the sequence?

Answer 1

a7 = 36

Explanation:

Here, we are to use the recursive formula to calculate the 7th term( we add the preceding term to 4 so as to get the succeeding term)

a1 = 12

using the recursive formula given in the question

a2 = 12 + 4 = 16

a3 = 16 + 4 = 20

a4 = 20 + 4 = 24

a5 = 24 + 4 = 28

a6 = 28 + 4 = 32

a7 = 32 + 4 = 36
