See,
1/3 of 12
= 1/3 * 12
= 1/1 * 4
=4
and
1/4 of 12
= 1/4 * 12
= 1/1 * 3
= 3
so 1/3 of 12 is the greater

A recursive arithmetic sequence is defined ad f(1)=6, f(n+1)=f(n)+5 for n>1. The first four terms of the sequence are shown i

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Write the first few terms of the sequence.
f₁ = 6
f₂ = f₁ + 5 = 11
f₃ = f₂ + 5 = 16
f₄ = f₃ + 5 = 21
and so on

The sequence is
6, 11, 16, 21, ...,
This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5.

In function notation, the sequence is
$f_{n+1} = 6 + 5n, \\ \, n=0,1,2, \, ...,$

This represents the equation of a straight line with n as the independent variable and f as the dependent variable.
The slope is 5.
A graph of the line is shown below.

Answer:
The sequence is $f_{n+1} = 6 + 5n, \,\, n=0,1,2, \, ...,$
The slope is 5.
