Answer:
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found from the previous term by adding the common difference to it.
Here d = 5 - 8 = - 3, thus
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] - 3 with a₁ = 8 ← recursive formula
