Option B
The second term of sequence is -9
Solution:
Given that,
[tex]a(1)= -13\\\\a(n) = a(n-1) + 4[/tex]
We have to find the second term of sequence
To find the second term of sequence, substitute n = 2 in given recursive formula
Plug in n = 2 in above equation
[tex]a(2) = a(2-1) + 4\\\\a(2) = a(1) + 4[/tex]
Substitute a(1) = -13
[tex]a(2) = -13 + 4\\\\a(2) = -9[/tex]
Thus the second term of sequence is -9
