Answer:

a_n=a_{n-1}+2^{n-1}\ \ n>1

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive Sequence

We are given the following sequence:

-1, 1, 5, 13...

It's required to find the recursive term for the sequence.

A recursive formula calculates each term as a function of one or more previous terms.

To find the recursive formula, we must find a pattern and transform it into a math expression.

Let's write the sequence, and below it, the difference of consecutive terms:

-1,   1,   5,   13...

+2,  +4,  +8

Note the difference between consecutive terms is always a power of 2, starting from 2^1, 2^2, 2^3.

The exponent is one less than the number of the term, thus:

a_n-a_{n-1}=2^{n-1}

Thus:

\mathbf{a_n=a_{n-1}+2^{n-1}\ \ n>1}

Testing:

n=1

a_1=-1 (given).

n=2

a_2=a_{1}+2^{2-1}=-1+2^{1}=1

n=3

a_3=a_{2}+2^{3-1}=1+2^{2}=5

n=4

a_4=a_{3}+2^{4-1}=5+2^{3}=13

Answer:

120 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As the set up says the two angles (m<A and m<C) are the same so you would simply just divide 240 by 2 (240/2) to find your answer of 120.
