What is the recursive rule for the following sequence: -9, -2, 5, 12, ….

a) an = a n-1 - 9
b) an = a n-1 + 9
c) an = a n-1 + 7
d) an = a n-1 - 7

The answer is option (C)=an-1+7

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive rule is a formula that in which each term is expressed as a function of its preceding term(s), meaning in order to get to the nth term you have to express it in a form of the term that comes before it. In our case the a(n-1) term

So for the sequence -9, -2, 5, 12

The nth term is any number on the sequence and

So we need to find out what we have to do to the preceding term to get the next.

To get -2 from -9 we have to add 7 to -9; -9+7=-2

To get 5 from -2 we have to add 7 to -2; -2+7=5

To get 12 from 5 we add 7 to 5; 7+5=12

So the recursive rule would be= a n-1+7
