Original question and givens

The real sequence is indexed from 0 with a_0=-8 and recurrence a_(j+1)=a_j+(3) for every j≥0. Find the term at n=8.

  • G001 — The real sequence is indexed from 0 with a_0=-8 and recurrence a_(j+1)=a_j+(3) for every j≥0. Find the term at n=8.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-sequence-recursive-term, [d, n, operation, u]]

After

derived = [recursive_term, no-invented-domain]

Conditions: none

Keep EACH bank’s keys/operation/domain distinct:LDL/PULSE/function legacy table underscores,TREE full tree_* with its declared domain,and permissive BASE signed without invented op/domain.All arithmetic respects the binary-primitive contract.
