Below are the first six terms of a sequence: a1 = 8 a2 = 22 a3 = 50 a4 = 106 a5 = 218 a6 = 442 fill in the appropriate constant integer values to complete the recursive formula for the sequence.

Check the forward differences of the sequence:

22 - 8 = 14

50 - 22 = 28 = 2*14

106 - 50 = 56 = 4*14

218 - 106 = 112 = 8*14

442 - 218 = 224 = 16*14

The differences are the products of increasing powers of 2 and 14:

and so on, with

Then the sequence has the recursive definition,

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
