Question

Ok so I'm stuck on this problem and I really need help.

For 1 sale, an employee earns 1 token.
For 2 sales, an employee earns 8 tokens.
For 3 sales, an employee earns 17 tokens.
For 4 sales, an employee earns 28 tokens.

Which recursive equation represents the pattern?

Answer 1

I think the answer is either an = an - 1 + (n + 2) or an = an - 1 + 2n

Answer 2

i hate these cuz they are very confusing.

Answer 3

yes me too lol

Answer 4

okay so is this geometric or arithmetic?

Answer 5

arithmetic it's for my financial algebra class

Answer 6

Answer 7

Igbasallote yes

Answer 8

yes that is what I'm trying to figure out and I'm stuck with on of those two answers listed above

Answer 9

*one sorry

Answer 10

28=17+11
A(n)=A(n-1)+d

Answer 11

ok that sort of helps but these are my choices

an = an - 1 + (n + 2)

an = an - 1 + (n + 3)

an = an - 1 + 2n

an = an - 1 + 2n + 3

Answer 12

A(n) = A(n-1) + (5+2(n-1))

Answer 13

7-9-11

Answer 14

@Bree309 , since you have formulas given, just substitute from the data you have - the one that works for all A(n) is what you ar elooking for.

Answer 15

thats what i wanted to say.

Answer 16

Yeah I think I have it
Thanks guys :)
