Multiple Select
Select all correct statements about the arithmetic sequence a(n) where a(1) = 5 and d = 3.
The first term is 5.
The common difference is 3.
The sequence decreases by 3 each time.
The fifth term is 17.

Multiple Choice
What is the recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence where a(1) = 5 and the common difference d = 3?
a(n+1) = a(n) + 3
a(n+1) = a(n) - 3
a(n+1) = a(n) + 5
a(n+1) = a(n) + n

Multiple Choice
Which recursively defined function has a first term equal to 10 and a common difference of 4?
f(1) = 10, f(x) = f(x-1) + 4
f(1) = 4, f(x) = f(x-1) + 10
f(1) = 10, f(x) = 4f(x-1)
f(1) = 4, f(x) = 10f(x-1)
