Q. Which recursive formula can be used to define this sequence for n>1?10,13,16,19,22,25,…Choices:(A)a=a+a−3(B)a=1013a(C)a=a−3(D)a=a+3
Sequence Type: We have: 10,13,16,19,22,25,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic?The difference between consecutive terms is the same.The given sequence is arithmetic.
Find Common Difference:10,13,16,19,22,25,…Find the common difference, d.Two consecutive terms are 10 and 13.13−10=3Common difference (d):3
Recursive Formula:10,13,16,19,22,25,…Identify the recursive formula for the given sequence.Substitute 3 for d in an=an−1+d.Recursive formula: an=an−1+3
