Given the recursive rule for an arithmetic sequence, write the explicit rule. f(0)= 24 and f(n) = f(n-1) - 4 for n great than or equal to 1
Added by Joseph T.
Step 1
In this case, we have f(n) = f(n-1) - 4. So, the common difference is -4. Show more…

Given the recursive rule for an arithmetic sequence, select the explicit rule. f (0) = 3 and f (n) = f (n - 1) + 8 for n ≥ 1 f (n) = 3 + 8n for n ≥ 0 f (n) = 8 + 3n for n ≥ 0 f (n) = 3 + 8n for n ≥ 1 f (n) = 8 + 3n for n ≥ 1

Enter a recursive rule and an explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence. Then, find the 20th term of the sequence. 4, 0, -4, -8, ... The recursive rule is f(1) = , f(n) = f( ? ) - . The explicit rule is f(n) = - ( ? ). f(20) =

Find the first four terms of the recursively defined sequence. Find the rule for $a_{x}$ in terms of just $n .$ $$a_{0}=-4 ; a_{n}=a_{n-1}+2, n=1,2,3, \dots$$
