A theater has 60 seats in the first row, 68 seats in the second row, 76 seats in the third row, and so on in the same increasing pattern.

What is the explicit form of this sequence?

• f(x) = 60(8)^x , where x = 0,1,2,...

• a_n = 60(8)ⁿ, where n = 0,1,2,...

• a_n = 8n + 60, where n = 0,1,2,..

• a_n = 60 + 8(n-1), where n= 1,2,3,...

Find the recursive form of the sequence

-56, -60, -64, .......

• a_n+1 = a_n - 56, n = 1,2,3,...

  a₁ = -4

• a_n+1 = a_n - 4, n=1,2,3,...

  a₁ = -56

• a_n+1 = a_n - 4, n=0,1,2,...

  a₁=-56

• a_n+1 = a_n - 56, n = 0,1,2,...
