Answer:

D)

17,15,13,11

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula

[tex]f(n) = f(n - 1) - 2 \\ f1 = 17 \\ [/tex]

  • we can deduce the next three terms as follows:
  • [tex]f(2) = f(2 - 1) - 2 \\ f(2)= f(1) - 2 \\ f(2) = 17 - 2 \\ f(2) = 15\\ [/tex]
  • [tex]f(3) = f(3 - 1) - 2 \\ f(3)= f(2) - 2 \\ f(3) = 15 - 2 \\ f(3) = 13\\ [/tex]
  • [tex]f(4) = f(4 - 1) - 2 \\ f(4)= f(3) - 2 \\ f(4) = 13 - 2 \\ f(4) = 11\\ [/tex]
  • Hence the sequence is; 17, 15, 13, 11,...
