Consider the sequence:

3, 8, 13, 18, 23,

the recursive formula for this sequence is:

latex: a_n=a_{n-1}+5a n = a n − 1 + 5.

in complete sentences, explain what latex: a_na n, latex: a_{n-1}a n − 1, and the 5 represent in the formula. find latex: a_8a 8. what do you need to know in order to find latex: a_8a 8?

The recursive formula

means that the current element () is written in terms of the term immediately before ().

In order to get , you have to add 5 to the previous term . In other words, every term is 5 more than its predecessor.

So, if we want the 8th term, we can keep adding 5 until we get there:

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )

i dont know sorry
