OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

Please explain.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

How do you go from one term to the next?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

How do you go from 3 to 7?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What do you do to 3 to get 7?

OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

Add

OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

@mathstudent55

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Add 4. Then notice that it is the same for each pair of terms. From 3 to 7: add 4. From 7 to 11: add 4. From 11 to 15: add 4. From 15 to 19: add 4. Ok so far?

OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

ok

OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

It is C

OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

But I have to keep explaining, well I think it is C

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That means the general recursive formula musy show that to get a term, you add 4 to the previous term. A general term is \(\Large a_n\). The previous term is \(\Large a_{n - 1}\) Which formula shows that a general term, \(\Large a_n\) equals the previous term \(\Large a_{n - 1} \) plus 4?

OpenStudy (mathsucks321):

C

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes, you are correct. The answer is C. There you see that each terms is the previous term plus 4.
