Write a recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence

Answer:
a1 = 2; an = a(n-1) + 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Common difference = 7/2 - 2
= 7/2 - 4/2
= 3/2
(Also 5 - 7/2 = 3/2.)
First term a1 = 2
So the formula is a1 = 2; an = a(n-1) + 3/2 which is the first choice.
The recursive formula for the arithmatic sequence is a₁ = 2, aⁿ = aⁿ⁻¹ + 3/2.
A recursive formula is a formula that defines any tern of a sequence in terms ofits preceding term(s).
Now the given series is-
2,7/2,5,13/2,......
Here the the first term of the series is 2
⇒a₁ = 2
Common difference (d) = (7/2) - 2 = 3/2
Now the recursive formula of an arithmatic sequence is given as,
aⁿ = aⁿ⁻¹ + d
Putting the values,
aⁿ = aⁿ⁻¹ + 3/2
Hence,the recursive formula for the arithmatic sequence is a₁ = 2, aⁿ = aⁿ⁻¹ + 3/2.
