Write a recursive formula for the sequence

Option B: a1= 15 ,

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is 15, 26, 48, 92, 180..........

First term is a1, so a1= 15

To get second term 26, we multiply the first term with 2  

So it becomes 15*2 = 30

Then we subtract 4 from 30. so 30-4=26

To get third term 48,

previous term 26 *2 - 4= 52-4=48

a_n is the first term   and a_(n-1) is the previous term

To get recursive formula

multiply the previous term by 2  and then subtract 4

So recursive formula becomes

Option B is correct

8 2/3 is the answer
