Question

How can you write arithmetic and geometric sequences using recursive and explicit formulas modeled in a real world context?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

They would be written like this:

Arithmetic Progression:

Explicit formula

Tn = a + (n-1) * d

Recursive formula

Tn = Tn-1 + d

Where a is the first term, d is the common differance and n is the number of terms.

Geometric Progression:

Explicit formula

Tn = a * r ^ (n-1)

Recursive formula

Tn = Tn-1 * r

Where r is common ratio
