Answer:

3) a_n=-2a_{n-1}, a_1=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the explicit rule for a sequence is a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}.

Now we need to find about what is the recursive rule for the sequence and match with the given choices to find the correct choice.

1) a_n=-2a_{n+1}, a_1=5

2) a_n=-5a_{n+1}, a_1=2

3) a_n=-2a_{n-1}, a_1=5

4) a_n=-5a_{n-1}, a_1=2

Plug n=1 into given formula to get first term

a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}

a_1=5(-2)^{1-1}=5(-2)^{0}=5(1)=5

base of the exponent part is (-2) so that means we need to multiply -2 to the previous term to get nth term

Hence correct choice is: 3) a_n=-2a_{n-1}, a_1=5

Olenka [21]

Answer:


use the verticle line test. if a verticle line touches two points on the graph then it is not a function, if the verticle line only touches one point then it is a function.

for your question the answer is the 3rd option - Graph with 5 points plotted at (negative 3, 2), (negative 2, negative 1), (0, 3), (1, 0), and (2, negative 3)
