Question

A sequence has its first term equal to 8, and each term of the sequence is obtained by adding 6 to the previous term. If f(n) represents the nth term of the sequence, which of the following recursive functions best defines this sequence?

f(1) = 6 and f(n) = f(n - 1) + 8; n > 1

f(1) = 8 and f(n) = f(n - 1) + 6; n > 1

f(1) = 8 and f(n) = f(n - 1) + 6n; n > 1

f(1) = 6 and f(n) = f(n - 1) + 8n; n > 1

Answer 1

gotta love multiple choice haha

Answer 2

we can already eliminate A and D because the first term isn't = to 8

Answer 3

Well f(1) is the first term if the first term is 8, f(1)=8. then after that you add 6 to the previous term which is represented by f(n-1)

Answer 4

so which one do u think it is?

Answer 5

B

Answer 6

yeah^

Answer 7

if @EverydayIsTheWeekend wants to know how to do it she will ask it.

Answer 11

plus read the code of conduct. it says not to give the direct answer and ive seen u do that in another problem befor

Answer 12

may be they just want to answer so they can try and reach to that value and if they still don't get the answer they will ask.

Answer 13

all very good points XD but seriously, thanks to everyone who's helping me answer these questions, I really appreciate it. im just trying to finish a year's worth of math in 3 weeks >.< thanks <3

Answer 14

see i said it sometimes only answers are worth

Answer 15
