Question

The pattern of numbers below is an arithmetic sequence:

14, 24, 34, 44, 54, ...

Which statement describes the recursive function used to generate the sequence?

a. The common difference is 1, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 1 where f(1) = 14.
b. The common difference is 4, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4 where f(1) = 10.
c. The common difference is 10, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 10 where f(1) = 14.
d. The common difference is 14, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 14 where f(1) = 10.
