Rational because you get a whole number
Polynomials are not closed under division. When you divide polynomials it is possible to get quotients with negative exponents or with fractions that have exponents in the denominator, and neither of these could be included in polynomials.
There is only one number that is equal to the absolute value of 15.
That number is 15.
But wait !
There are two different numbers WHOSE ABSOLUTE VALUES
are both 15.
Those numbers are 15 and -15 .

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A recursive formula consists of two parts:
- initialization (rule for the first term(s))
- rule for the next term
When we look at the differences between terms in the sequence 3, -4, -11, ..., we find that they are constant at -7. That is each term can be found from the previous one by subtracting 7. This is our recursive rule. The first term is obviously 3, so the recursive formula is ...
a[1] = 3
a[n] = a[n-1] -7
