Answer:


a_n=a_(n-1)+16

Explanation:

The given arithmetic sequence is

14,30,46,62

The first term of this sequence is


a_1=14

The common distance is obtained by subtracting a subsequent term from a previous term;

d=30-14

The common difference is

d=16

The recursive formula is given by:


a_n=a_(n-1)+d

We now plug in the known value for the common difference to get;


a_n=a_(n-1)+16
