Question:

g(1)=-19,

g(n)= g(n-1)+6,



find an explicit formula for g(n)

Answer:

g(n) = 6n - 25.

Explanation:

We have an arithmetic sequence here.

The common difference (d) is g(n) - g(n - 1) = 6.

The first term a1 = -19 so the formula is:

a1 + (n - 1)d

-19 + (n - 1)6

= 6n - 19 - 6

= 6n - 25.
