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:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:
2L + B = 14 units
Where:
L is the measure of one leg
B is the measure of the base
Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:
B = L -1
Now we have two equations:
2L + B = 14 units
B = L- 1
We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:
2L + (L-1) = 14 units
Get rid of the parentheses:
2L + L - 1 = 14
Combine like terms:
3L - 1 = 14
Add 1 to both sides of the equation:
3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1
3L = 15
Divide both sides by 3:
3L/3 = 15/3
L = 5
So the length of a leg is 5 units
Let's check!
B = L - 1
B = 5 - 1
B = 4
Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:
2L + B
2(5) + 4
10 + 4 = 14
