Q. Which recursive formula can be used to define this sequence for n>1?14,16,18,20,22,24,…Choices:(A) a=a+a+2(B) a=78a(C) a=a−2(D) a=a+2
Sequence Type: We have the sequence: 14,16,18,20,22,24,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic?The difference between consecutive terms is the same.The given sequence is arithmetic.
Find Common Difference: Find the common difference, d.Two consecutive terms are 14 and 16.16−14=2Common difference (d): 2
Recursive Formula: Identify the recursive formula for the given sequence.Substitute 2 for d in an=an−1+d.Recursive formula: an=an−1+2
