Pls help step by step pls

Answer 1

a₄ = 67

Explanation:

the recursive rule allows a term to be found from the previous term

using the recursive rule

`a_(n)` = - 3
`a_(n-1)` - 2 , then

a₁ = - 3

a₂ = - 3a₁ - 2 = - 3(- 3) - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

a₃ = - 3a₂ - 2 = - 3(7) - 2 = - 21 - 2 = - 23

a₄ = - 3a₃ - 2 = - 3(- 23) - 2 = 69 - 2 = 67
