Question

Write the recursive rule for the 5th term of the sequence: -7, -3, 1, 5, 9

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  $x_{n}$ represent the nth term in the sequence. Then  $x_{n-1}$ represents the previous term

The first term, $x_{1}$ = -7

Each consecutive term is obtained by adding 4 to the previous term.

So the recursive relation is
$\left \{ {{x_{1}= -7} \atop {x_{n}= x_{n-1} + 4}} \right.$
