b(1)=2, b(n)=b(n-1)-1

DoltonCarlee · Answer

This math expression is a recursive rule that tells you to start with the number 2 and then subtract 1 from each previous number to find the next one.How It Works The Starting Point: $b(1) = 2$ means the very first number in our list is 2.The Rule: $b(n) = b(n-1) - 1$ means any number in the list ($b(n)$) is found by taking the number right before it ($b(n-1)$) and subtracting 1.
