What is a₁?

• the number you multiply to get from one term to the next
• the term you are trying to find 
• the number you add to get from one term to the next
• the first term

What is the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence?

• Arithmetic you add to get from one term to the next and geometric you multiply to get from one term to the next
• Arithmetic you multiply to get from one term to the next and geometric you add to get from one term to the next
• There is no difference, you add for both
• There is no difference, you multiply for both

• 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 formula for the following sequence:

10, 5, 0, -5,...

• a₁= 10

  a_n= a_n-1 - 5

• a₁= 10

  a_n= a_n-1 + 5

• a₁= 10

  a_n= a_n (5)

• a₁= 10

  a_n= a_n-1 (5)
