Consider the sequence: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, recursive formula for this sequence is: an = an-1 + 5in a complete sentence, explain what an and an-1 represent in the formula. then find a8 . what do you need to know in order to find a8 ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive sequence

In a recursive sequence formula, each term is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

We can see is the previous term. It means we need to be able to compute . But we also need to compute and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms,

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
