b(1) = 16b(n) = b(n - 1)+1Find the 2nd term in thesequence.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:17Step-by-step explanation:b(n)=b(n-1)+1 means a term can be found by taking it's previous term and adding 1 to it.So if b(1)=16, the next term b(2)=16+1=17.If this was not obvious just replace n with 2 in your equation:b(2)=b(2-1)+1b(2)=b(1)+1b(2)=16+1b(2)=17So the 2nd term is 17 where the first term is 16.
