Q. Use the explicit formula to find a recursive formula for the sequence a. Write your answer in simplest form.The recursive formula should depend on a.a=−9n−44a = ______
Identify Sequence Type: Identify if the given sequence is geometric or arithmetic.The explicit formula a=−9n−44 involves a linear term in n and no exponent terms, indicating that the sequence is arithmetic.
Find First Term: Find the first term of the sequence using the explicit formula.a1=−9(1)−44=−9−44=−53
Find Second Term: Find the second term of the sequence using the explicit formula.a2=−9(2)−44=−18−44=−62
Find Common Difference: Find the common difference in the arithmetic sequence. d=a2−a1=−62−(−53)=−62+53=−9
Write Recursive Formula: Write the recursive formula by plugging in the value of the common difference.Substitute −9 for d in an=a(n−1)+d.an=a(n−1)−9
