Step 1

This means that the sequence is increasing by a constant difference of 8, which is a characteristic of an arithmetic sequence. Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

The sequence an = 5, an+1 = an + 8, a 1 is an example of which of the following? O a recursively-defined geometric sequence. O none of these O a variation of the recursively-defined Factorial sequence. O a recursively-defined arithmetic sequence. O a recursively-defined Fibonacci-like sequence.
