f(1) = 5 and f(n) = f(n - 1) - 6; n 1

Which of the following lists the terms in the sequence defined by this recursive function?

Oops! 

A.)  5, 1, 7, 13, 19, ...

B.) 5, -1, -7, -13, -19, ...

C.) 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, ...

D.) 5, -11, -17, -23, -29, ...

SO THEN F(1)=5

THAN 


ahhhhh Now is more understandably

jhonyy9 · Answer

try it 

for n=2 you get f(2) = f(2-1) -6 = f(1) -6 = 5-6=-1

anonymous · Answer

And you repeat that pattern, right? so the answer is B?

jhonyy9 · Answer

n=3
f(3) = f(3-1)-6 = f(2) -6 = -1-6=-7

jhonyy9 · Answer

yes, now hope you understand it sure right
