Mahek owns a holiday tree farm. There are currently 800 trees on the property. Each year 20% of the trees are harvested and sold, and 200 seedlings are planted. Write a recursive definition for the number of trees on the farm at the beginning of the nth year.

1. a1 = 800, an = 0.20an-1 +200
2. a1 = 200, an = 0.80an-1 + 800
3. a1 = 800, an = 0.80an-1 + 200
4. a1= 0.20, an=0200an-1

The equation of the sequence will be [tex]\rm a_n = 0.8 \times a_{n -1} +200[/tex],

where a₁ = 800. Then the correct option is C.

Let a₁ be the first term and r be the common ratio. Then the geometric sequences will be

[tex]\rm a_n = a_{n -1} \cdot r[/tex]
