Question 1028586: Could someone please check my answers? I am supposed to write both a recursive and an explicit rule that will generate the values in the table, provided that a"subscript"o=3/2
n--------------1-----2-----3-----4------5-------6
a*sub*n------2-----3-----5-----9-----17-------33
Recursive rule= a"sub"o= 3/2, a"sub"n=a"sub"(n-1) +2 "super" n-2
Explicit rule= a"sub"n=3/2+1/2(2"super"n-1)
I hope this makes sense, I don't know how to make the subscripts on my keyboard. I appreciate any help!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For subscripts, use "^".
Your recursive rule is correct but explicit rule is incorrect.
a%5B2%5D=3%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%2A2%5E%282-1%29
a%5B2%5D=3%2F2%2B1
a%5B2%5D=5%2F2
