What is the recursive definition 80, 77,74,71,68
Added by David G.
Step 1
In this case, we can see that each term in the sequence is decreasing by 3. So, we can write the recursive definition as: a(1) = 80 (the first term in the sequence) a(n) = a(n-1) - 3 (each subsequent term is 3 less than the previous term) Using this recursive Show more…
