The drop down options are explicit and recursive.

Recursive

Explicit

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence an be represented by a recursive rule which gives the first term and defines the nth term by relating it to the previous term, or by an explicit rule which defines the nth term as a function of n.

The recursive rule is that we have the initial term. To find the subsequent term, we will take that previous term and add it to our common difference.

Hence, we are relating the previous terms to define the nth term.

For the explicit rule, we simply have a function of n. To find the nth term, we can substitute our desired term n for n and evaluate.

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation

25/14 or 1.
