Answer:
The explicit formula

The recursive formula
for 
if 
Step-by-step explanation:
If a sequence is arithmetical then the difference between any of its consecutive terms will be constant
3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75,

The difference between the consecutive terms remains constant so the sequence is arithmetic.
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:

Where d is the constant difference between the terms.

is the first term of the sequence.

So

Finally, the recursive formula is:

It is not parallel. The fact that there is more space between the lines on one side than the other (mk is shorter than nL) shows that the lines must be angled differently, and thus, would eventually intersect.
