Given the Recursive Formula:
a1 = -8
a6 = an + 5
What is the common difference?
What is the initial term?
What term is this formula solving for?
what should be in place of the n?
Answer choices
-8, 6, 5, 4
The common difference is 5, as stated by the terms "an + 5".
The initial term is a1, which is -8.
This formula is solving for the nth term in the sequence.
In place of the n, any specific term number can be used to find that term in the sequence.
