Recursive Sequences

Write the recursive formula for 6, 17, 28, 39, 50....

• a_n=a_n-1+11
  a₁=6
• a_n=a_n-1-4
  a₁=6
• a_n=a_n-1+9
  a₁=6
• a_n=a_n-1+6
  a₁=6

Write a recursive rule for the sequence 17, 1, -15, -31 . . .

• a_n = a_n-1 + 16
  a₁=17
• a_n = a_n-1 - 17
  a₁=17
• a_n = a_n-1 - 15
  a₁=17
• a_n = a_n-1 - 16
  a₁=17
