Answer:
an = -6+n
or
an = 1 + 7(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
a(1)=1 and a(n+1)=a(n)+7
The explicit formula is
an = a1+ d (n-1)
we know a1 =1
Looking at a(n+1)=a(n)+7
We are adding 7 each time so the common difference is +7
an = 1 + 7(n-1)
We can simplify this
an = 1 + 7n -7
an = -6+n
You can use either formula
