To find the recursive rule for the sequence defined by  = 131 + (n − 1) × 119, follow these steps:

Identify Parameters from the Explicit Formula:

The explicit formula is  = 131 + (n − 1) × 119.

This represents an arithmetic sequence where:

The initial term  is 131 (when n=1,  = 131 + (1 − 1) × 119 = 131).

The common difference d is 119 (the coefficient of (n−1)).
