Consider the sequence : 41,29,17,5

Is this sequence

A. arithmetic

B. geometric

C. exponential

Part B:

It can be defined recursively by the function:

A: An=An-1+12

B: An=An-1-12

C: An=12A^n-1

Part C: And A^1 equals

A:53

B:41

C:-12

B B B

Step-by-step explanation:

A]

Each term goes down by 12 from the previous term. The sequence is arithmetic - B.

B]

The correct recursive function is

An = A_ (n-1) - 12

which means that the correct answer is B

C]

The first term, if that is what your nomenclature means, is 41.
