Answer:

Explanation:

{9, 14, 19, ...} so it looks like 5 is added to the previous term to get next

The recursive rule may be


a_(1) =9


a_(n) = a_(n-1) +5

The fith term is you find by writing the arithmetic sequence formula


a_(n) = a_(1) + (n-1) d , where d is how much you add

yet for the 5th term


a_(5) = a_(1) + (5-1)* 5


a_(5) = 9 +4*5 = 9+20 =29
