Q. {g(1)=2.7g(n)=g(n−1)⋅6.1Find an explicit formula for g(n).g(n)=□
Base Case Given: We know g(1)=2.7, this is our base case.
Recursive Formula: The recursive formula is g(n)=g(n−1)×6.1, which means each term is 6.1 times the previous term.
Finding Explicit Formula: To find an explicit formula, we need to express g(n) in terms of n and the base case g(1).
Calculating g(2): Since g(n)=g(n−1)×6.1, we can write g(2)=g(1)×6.1.
Multiplication Pattern: So, g(2)=2.7×6.1.
Final Explicit Formula: Calculating g(2) gives us g(2)=16.47, but we don't need this value for the explicit formula.
Final Explicit Formula: Calculating g(2) gives us g(2)=16.47, but we don't need this value for the explicit formula.We see that each step multiplies by 6.1, so g(n)=g(1)×6.1(n−1).
Final Explicit Formula: Calculating g(2) gives us g(2)=16.47, but we don't need this value for the explicit formula.We see that each step multiplies by 6.1, so g(n)=g(1)×6.1(n−1).Substitute g(1)=2.7 into the formula to get g(n)=2.7×6.1(n−1).
