Write a reclusive rule for the sequence, then give the next two numbers in the sequence 6,1,7,8,15,23

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂

where:

a₁ = 6

a₂= 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the sequence:

6, 1, 7, 8, 15, 23, ...

Is easy to see that this sequence works as follows:

You take 2 consecutive numbers, and the next number is the sum of these two.

Then we have:

6 + 1 = 7

1 + 7 = 8

7 + 8 = 15

8 + 15 = 23

Then the n-th term is equal to the sum of the (n - 1) term and the (n - 2) term.

This is written as:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂

Because in the recursive rule needs two previous terms, we need to specify  the two first terms of the sequence.

Then we need to write also:

a₁ = 6

a₂= 1.

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
