Shaunta is developing a recursive formula to represent an arithmetic sequence in which 5 is added to each term to determine each successive term. Which formula could represent her sequence?

Answer:

[tex]a_{n+1} = a_n + 5[/tex]                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

An arithmetic sequence where 5 is added to every term.

Thus, common difference, d = 5

Let the first term be

[tex]a = a_0[/tex]

Then, [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_0 + (n-1)d[/tex]

Putting values, we get,

[tex]a_n = a_0 + (n-1)5\\a_n = a_0 + 5n - 5\\a_{n+1} = a_0 + (n+1-1)5\\a_{n+1} = a_0 + (n-1)5 + 5\\a_{n+1} = a_n + 5[/tex]

is the required recursive relation for arithmetic progression.

Answer:

a f(n + 1) = f(n) + 5
