Question

6(1) = 16
6(n) = b(n − 1) + 1
Find the 2-term in the sequence.

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

Given

`b(1)=16\\ \\b(n)=b(n-1)+1`

Finding the second term of the sequence means to find
`b(2).` To find
`b(2)` substitute
`n=2` into the second expression:

`b(2)=b(2-1)+1\\ \\b(2)=b(1)+1\\ \\b(2)=16+1\\ \\b(2)=17`
