Arithmetic Sequence in Recursive Form

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

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

Write the recursive formula for the following sequence?
6, 4, 2, 0, . . .

• a_n = -2n + 8
• a₁ =6, a_n = a_n - 1 - 2
• a₁ = 6, a_n = a_n-1 + 2
• a₁ = 6, a_n = a_n-1 - 2

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

Given the recursive formula, find the first four terms:
a_n = a_n-1 + 5
a₁ = -16

• -16, -21, -26, -31
• 5, -11, -27, -43
• -16, -80, -500, -200
• -16, -11, -6, -1
