Consider the sequence: 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, write a recursive definition.

a a n = 2 ⋅ a n − 1 − 5 a n = 2 ⋅ a n − 1 − 5

b a n = 3 ⋅ a n − 1 a n = 3 ⋅ a n − 1

c a n = 3 + a n − 1 a n = 3 + a n − 1

d a_n=8+3 an-1}

The first term is 8, so

Each time we want a new term, we add on 3

8+3 = 11

11+3 = 14

14+3 = 17

17+3 = 20

23+3 = 26

and so on

This recursive step of adding on 3 to the prior term is written as this: which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"

Based on what you posted for your answer choices, the final answer is likely choice C. However it seems some weird typo happened.

its the fourth option

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
