How do I write a recursive formula for this sequence? 2, 6, 18, 54, 162, ... I already know the common difference is x3.

For the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ..., the explicit formula is: an = a1 ! rn"1 = 2 ! 3n"1 , and the recursive formula is: a1 = 2, an+1 = an ! 3 . In each case, successively replacing n by 1, 2, 3, ... will yield the terms of the sequence. See the examples below.

Which table represents a linear function?

mart [117]

Well, a linear function is proportional, a straight line (on a graph). And the numbers must not have the same answer. For instance, if the X input is 5, and the Y output is 7. And then another X input is 5, and the Y output is 8, that's non-linear.

So, the Answer would be the third graph. This is because the X values are steadily increasing, and so are the Y values.

For the X and Y values, for each time X increases by 1, Y increases by -8. This is, linear because both sides are constantly and evenly increasing.
