<em><u>The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n  = 1, 2, 3, ....

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

<em><u>Let us find the difference between terms</u></em>

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

<em><u>The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:</u></em>

a_n =a_1+(n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

a_1=3

Substitute in above formula,

a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1

<em><u>Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n = 1, 2, 3, ......
