1. What is the recursive formula for the sequence -2, 1, 4, 7


We're adding 3 each time (eg: -2 --> 1 is +3 since -2+3 = 1)

So the recursive formula is

This formula essentially states: to get the nth term , we add 3 to the previous term

2. For the function f(x)=√x-8, find
a. f(11)
b. f(-a)

a)

I'm assuming the function is

b)
