Hi there’s some math apps for this
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put n = 2 and next n = 3 to the recursive formula:


The slope is 2
y=2x + b
Plug in a point to solve for b
8 = 2(3) + b
8 = 6 + b
b = 2
The equation is y = 2x + 2
The sequence is geometric, so

for some constant r. From this rule, it follows that

and we can determine the first term to be

Now, by substitution we have

and so on down to (D)

(notice how the exponent on r and the subscript on a add up to n)
