well, the recursive rule of aₙ = aₙ₊₁ + 7, where a₁ = 15, is simply saying that
we start of at 15, and the next term is obtained by simply adding 7, and so on.
well, that's the recursive rule.
so then let's use that common difference and first term for the explicit rule.
Step-by-step explanation:
We multiply it to find the product
positive times positive = positive
positive times negative = negative
negative times positive = negative
negative times negative = positive
Negative and negative is positive , so product is positive
Negative and positive is negative , so product is negative
positive and negative is negative , so product is negative
positive and positive is positive , so product is positive
