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.
The nth term is
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
an=1(2)^(n-1)
a1=1
r=2
the sum of a geometric seequence is
a1=1
r=2
we want to find
(since we minus 1, the highest exponet is 9 so add 1 to make it correct)
