This sequence be represented as a recursive equation by a1=8 and an=2a1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a1=8,
then a2 = 2a(2-1)
⇒ a2 = 2a1
⇒ a2 = 2(8)
⇒ a2 = 16
Similarly,
For a2=16,
⇒ a3 = 2(a2)
⇒ a3 = 2(16)
⇒ a3 = 32
For a3=32,
⇒ a4 = 2(a3)
⇒ a4 = 2(32)
⇒ a4 = 64
∴ The equation is recursive as a1=8 and an=2a1 to follow the sequence.
