Answer:
The first five values are 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20
The recursive formula is as follow
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we need to find the first 5 values we start with n = 1 to n = 5. Note that we don't start from n = 0 as the question states that n ≥ 1.
For the first 5 values we just replace the value of n with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and calculate the answer
The first five values are 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20
A recursive formula is one that
a) Mentions the initial term
b) provides a formula connecting the previous term to the existing term.
Since we know the first term is 12, i.e and we know that the difference between consecutive terms is 2 we can conclude that the recursive formula is made up of the following two formulas
The over all formula is as follow
