• Arithmetic

• Geometric

• Neither

 Use the first 5 terms of the sequence to define the sequence recursively using function notation.  $30,\ 40,\ 50,\ 60,\ 70,\ ...$  

•  $f\left(n\right)=f\left(n-1\right)\cdot2$  

•  $f\left(n\right)=\frac{1}{3}\cdot f\left(n-1\right)$  
  

•  $f\left(n\right)=10\cdot f\left(n\right)$  
  

•  $f\left(n\right)=f\left(n-1\right)+10$  

•  $f\left(n\right)=\left|n-1\right|\cdot6$
