Arithmetic Sequences and Recursive Formulas

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

What is the recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence?

• a(n - 1) + CD

• a(n - 1) + CR

• a₁(CR)^n-1

• CD(n - 1) + a₁

What is the recursive formula for arithmetic sequences?

• f(n) = f(n-1) + d

• f(n) = f(1) + (n+1)d

• f(n) = f(1) + nd

• f(n) = f(1)+ (n-2)d

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