Identify the recursive formula for the following sequence: 8, 26, 80, 242, . .

Recursive formula is

Step-by-step explanation:

8, 26, 80, 242, . . .

8 is the first term

To get 26 we multiply 8 by 3  and then add 2

8*3 = 24 + 2= 26

26 * 3= 78+2 = 80

80*3 = 240 + 2 = 242

So to get next term we multiply the previous term by 3  and then we add 2

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
