The pattern of numbers shown is an arithmetic sequence. 14 comma 24 comma 34 comma 44 comma 54 comma dot dot dot Which statement describes the recursive function used to generate the sequence?

Subtract consecutive terms to find the common difference: 24 − 14 = 10, and each following term also increases by 10. The first term is 14, so the recursive rule is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 10 with f(1) = 14. This matches choice D.
