Step: 1
Step: 2
a2 = 11 = 7 + 4 = a1 + 4
Step: 3
a3 = 15 = 11 + 4 = a2 + 4
Step: 4
a4 = 19 = 15 + 4 = a3 + 4
Step: 5
a5 = 23 = 19 + 4 = a4 + 4
Step: 6
a6 = 27 = 23 + 4 =
a5 + 4
Observe the sequence.]
Step: 7
an = an - 1 + 4
Step: 8
The recursive formula is an = an - 1 + 4
Step: 9
a7 = a6 + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31
Step: 10
a8 =a7 + 4 = 31 + 4 = 35
Step: 11
a9 = a8 + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Step: 12
a10 = a9 + 4 = 39 + 4 = 43
Step: 13
The 10th term of the sequence = 43.
Correct Answer is : an = an - 1 + 4, a10 = 43
