The formula
a(n) = 2 - 5(n-1)
is in the form
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)
where
a1 = first term = 2
d = -5 = common difference
The first term is carried over to the recursive formula. We start with a1 = 2. The next term after that is found by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So
second term = (first term) - 5
third term = (second term) - 5
and so on
The recursive step would be
a(n) = a(n-1)-5
So that's why the answer is choice C

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you must find the actual decrease in temperature.
Decrease = Yesterday's temperature - Today's temperature
Decrease = 80 - 75
Decrease = 5 degrees
Now, find the percentage decrease.
% Decrease = Actual decrease / Yesterday's temperature x 100
% Decrease = 5/80 x 100
% Decrease = 0.0625 x 100
% Decrease = 6.25 %
So, the percent decrease in high temperature from yesterday to today is 6.25%
