Given:
The given sequence is:
To find:
The recursive formula for 
, the nth term of the sequence.
Solution:
We have,
Here, the first term is 5.
The common difference is -7.
The recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is
Where, 
is the common difference.
Putting 
in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the recursive formula for the nth term of the sequence is .
Answer to the problem:
D
Basically the -8 shows you the y value that the vertex has !! You can also use desmos to visualize
So there's 30 people or slots. The odds that Fatheya will be chosen to perform first is 1/30. But now there's one less slot.
Now with Fatema, there's 29 slots, so there's a 1/29 chance. Then combine these values by multiplying them:
1/30 * 1/29 = <em>1/870</em>
All done!
