Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form
aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,
and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form
aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,
where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.
But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So
tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript
tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d
Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

Answer:
102
Step-by-step explanation:
The total of ratio units is ...
6 + 3 + 8 = 17
The difference between the Charlie's ratio units and Adrian's ratio units is ...
8 - 6 = 2
That is, the total number of ratio units is 17/2 = 8.5 times that difference.
The actual difference is 12 sweets, so the total number of sweets is ...
8.5 × 12 = 102 . . . . total sweets
Answer:
Area = 114
Step-by-step explanation:
We first must find the area of the larger outside rectangle.
Area = length × width
15 × 8 = 120
Then we find the area of the smaller inside rectangle.
4 × 1.5 = 6
Since the small rectangle is not shaded we have to subtract its area from the larger shaded rectangle's area.
120 - 6 = 114
