write a recursive formula for each sequence given or described below.
Doug accepts a job where his starting salary is $30,000 per year, and each year he receives a raise of $3,000.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a_{n} =a_{n-1} +3000[/tex] and a₁ =30000 for n = 2,3,4,5,6, ......

Step-by-step explanation:

Doug has joined a job with a starting salary of $30000 per year.  

Hence, if a₁ is the salary of Doug in the first year, then  

a₁ =30000

Now, each year Doug will receive a raise of $3000 in his salary.

Hence, in the 2nd year, his salary(a₂) will become ( a₁ +3000) per year.

Again, in the 3rd year, his salary(a₃) will become ( a₂ +3000) per year.

Therefor, in the similar manner the recursive formula for his salary in each year will be given as [tex]a_{n} =a_{n-1} +3000[/tex] and a₁ =30000 for n = 2,3,4,5,6, ...... {aₙ is the yearly salary of Doug in the nth year} (Answer)
