Question

This is a math problem that i need help with

Answer 1

d = 8 , a₁ = - 6 , a₂ = 2

Explanation:

the recursive formula is

`a_(n)` =
`a_(n-1)` + d

where d is the common difference

compare with

`a_(n)` =
`a_(n-1)` + 8

then common difference d = 8

the initial term is the first term, that is a₁ = - 6

then

a₂ = a₁ + d = - 6 + 8 = 2
