A certain arithmetic sequence has the following explicit formula for the nth term: an = 3 + (n – 1)(8) The same sequence has the following recursive formula: an = an – 1 + What number belongs in the blank space in the recursive formula...

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
