Sent a picture of the solution to the problem (s).
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.
A
this is a geometric sequence since there exists a common ratio r between the terms
r = =
=
= 3
B
to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 3
= 3
← recursive rule
C
the n th term of a geometric sequence is
=
where is the first term in the sequence
= 7 ×
← explicit rule
