Answer:
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is
- 11 - (- 17) = - 5 - (- 11) = 1 - (- 5) = 6
A recursive rule allows a term to be found by adding d to the previous term, thus
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] + 6 with a₁ = - 17
