Answer:

[tex]a_n=-8n-7[/tex] is the closed linear form of the given sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that [tex]a_1=-15[/tex] and [tex]a_{n+1}=a_n-8[/tex]

To find the closed linear form for this given sequence :

So each of the successive term of the given sequence is decreases by 8

Therefore the common difference is -8

The given sequence is a arithmetic sequence.

The general form is [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a_1=-15[/tex] and d=-8 in [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex] we get

[tex]a_n=-15+(n-1)(-8)[/tex]

[tex]=-15-8n+8[/tex]

[tex]a_n=-8n-7[/tex]

Therefore [tex]a_n=-8n-7[/tex] is the closed linear form of the given sequence.
