Explicit to Recursive Formula

Given the first five terms, write the recursive formula.
15, 12, 9, 6, 3 ....

• u₁ = 15
  u_n = u_n-1 + 3

• u₀ = 15
  u_n = u_n-1 + 3

• u₁ = 15
  u_n = u_n-1 - 3 

• u₀ = 15
  u_n = u_n-1 - 3

Write the recursive formula of 13, 9, 5, 1, -3, ...

• a_n=a_n-1-4

• a_n=a_n-1+3

• a_n=a_n-1-5

• a_n=a_n-1+4

What is the explicit rule for the sequence:
11, 22, 44, 88...

• a_n = 2(11)^n-1

• a_n = 11x2

• a_n = 11(2)^n-1

• a_n+1 = a_{n *} 2;  a₁ = 11

Find the first four terms of the sequence. a_n= a_(n-1) - 18 where a₁=10

• 18, 8, -2, -12

• 28, 46, 64, 82

• -8, -26, -44, -60

• 10, -8, -26, -44

• A

• B

• C

• None of these
