Answer 2

You can try them out and see which one works.

a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one

b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)

c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)

d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one

_____

The appropriate choice is ...

... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6

— — — — — 

You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.
