Answer:

explicit definition:
a_n=5n-4

recursive definition:
a_n=a_(n-1)+5

Explanation:

Given arithmetic sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21 ...

Therefore,

  • first term a = 1
  • common difference d = 5

Using the general form of arithmetic sequence:
a_n=a+(n-1)d


\implies a_n=1+(n-1)5


\implies a_n=1+5n-5


\implies a_n=5n-4

or
a_n=a_(n-1)+5
