Create a NEXT/NOW statement for the following sequence: 
2, 8, 14, .....

• NEXT = 4 * NOW

• NEXT = NOW + 6

• NEXT = NOW / 4

• NEXT = NOW - 6

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

Which explicit equations match the sequence? The sequences begins f(1) = 12
12, 10, 8, 6, ...

• f(n) = 12n - 2

• f(n) = 12 - 2 (n - 1)

• f(n) = -2(n -1) + 12

• f(n) = 12 - 2n
