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=−6n+25a=______
Identify Type: Identify if the given sequence is geometric or arithmetic.The explicit formula a=−6n+25 does not involve any exponent terms, which indicates that the sequence is arithmetic.
Find First Term: Find the first term of the sequence using the explicit formula.a1=−6(1)+25=−6+25=19
Find Second Term: Find the second term of the sequence using the explicit formula.a2=−6(2)+25=−12+25=13
Find Common Difference: Find the common difference in the arithmetic sequence.d=a2−a1=13−19=−6
Write Recursive Formula: Write the recursive formula by plugging in the value of the common difference.Substitute −6 for d in an=a(n−1)+d.an=a(n−1)−6
