Answer:
g(n) = g(n-1) -15
g(1) = -65
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the recursive formula from the explicit formula for this arithmetic sequence by substituting 1 and (n+1) for n in the explicit formula.
__
g(n+1) = -50 -15(n+1) = (-50 -15n) -15 . . . . . find g(n+1)
g(n+1) = g(n) -15
and ...
g(1) = -50 -15(1) = -65
Then the recursive formula can ge written as ...
g(n) = g(n-1) -15
g(1) = -65

<em>Additional comment</em>
We found g(n+1) = g(n) -15. Substituting n-1 for n in this formula puts it in the form we need for answering the question:
g((n-1)+1) = g(n-1) -15
g(n) = g(n -1) -15
Either of these forms tells you how to get the next term from the previous one.
