D(1) = 3
d(n) = d(n = 1) - 14
find the 3rd term in the sequence.

- 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

d(n) = d(n - 1) - 14 with d(1) = 3, then

d(2) = d(1) - 14 = 3 - 14 = - 11

d(3) = d(2) - 14 = - 11 - 14 = - 25 ← third term

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
