Question

Consider the recursively defined function below.

Answer 1

Answer:

 -5.25, -3.5, -1.75, 0, 1.75

The recursive relation tells you this is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 1.75. Each term is 1.75 more than the one before.

To find the 2nd term, add 1.75 to the first term: -5.25 + 1.75 = -3.5

To find the 3rd term, add 1.75 to the second term: -3.5 + 1.75 = -1.75

To find the 4th term, add 1.75 to the third term: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0

To find the 5th term, add 1.75 to the forth term: 0 + 1.75 = 1.75

Answer 2

Answer:

  -5.25, -3.5, -1.75, 0, 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive relation tells you this is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 1.75. Each term is 1.75 more than the one before.

To find the 2nd term, add 1.75 to the first term: -5.25 + 1.75 = -3.5

To find the 3rd term, add 1.75 to the second term: -3.5 + 1.75 = -1.75

To find the 4th term, add 1.75 to the third term: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0

and so on ...
