Consider the sequence:

8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, ...

Write a recursive definition:

Group of answer choices

LaTeX: a_n=2/cdot a_{n-1}-5 a n = 2 ⋅ a n - 1 - 5

LaTeX: a_n=3/cdot a_{n-1} a n = 3 ⋅ a n - 1

LaTeX: a_n=3+a_{n-1} a n = 3 + a n - 1

LaTeX: a_n=8+3/cdot a_{n-1}

    a_n = 3 + a_n - 1 a_ n = 3 + a_ n - 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first term is 8, so a_1 = 8

    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: an = 3+a_n-1 which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"
