Answer:

  a[1] = -10

  a[n] = 12 + a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

First differences are ...

  • 2 -(-10) = 12
  • 14 -2 = 12
  • 26 -14 = 12

A constant first difference of 12 means this is an arithmetic sequence. Each term is 12 more than the previous, so the recursive rule is ...

  a[1] = -10

  a[n] = 12 + a[n-1]
