At her job, pat earns $25,000 the first year and receives a raise of $1000 each year. the explicit formula for the nth term of this sequence is an = 25,000 + (n − 1)1000. which rule best represents the equivalent recursive formula?

Recursive formula expresses a term in a sequence in terms of the previous term(s).

Given that Pat earns $25,000 the first year and receives a raise of $1000 each year. This means that the first term is $25,000 and each successive term is obtained by adding $1,000 to the previous term, i.e. 

Therefore, the rule that best represents the equivalent recursive formula is:

1.17+3.99a. you combine the terms with a to create 3.99 and the 1.17 stays because it has no like terms or a variable
