Question

A recursive function is shown below:

f(1) = 4 and f(n) = f(n - 1) - 8; n > 1

Which of the following lists the terms in the sequence defined by this recursive function?
f(1) = 4 and f(n) = f(n - 1) - 8; n > 1
Which of the following lists the terms in the sequence defined by this recursive function?
4, -4, -12, -20, -28, ...
4, 4, 12, 20, 28, ...
4, 12, 20, 28, 36, ...
4, -12, -20, -28, -36, ...
need help

Answer 1

if in doubt, why not list them out
f(1) = 4
f(2) = f(2 - 1) - 8 = f(1) - 8 = -4
f(3) = ...... ??
