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=−7n+16a = ______
Identify Sequence Type: Identify if the given sequence is geometric or arithmetic.The explicit formula a=−7n+16 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=−7(1)+16=−7+16=9
Find Second Term: Find the second term of the sequence using the explicit formula.a2=−7(2)+16=−14+16=2
Find Common Difference: Find the common difference in the arithmetic sequence.d=a2−a1=2−9=−7
Write Recursive Formula: Write the recursive formula by plugging in the value of the common difference.Substitute −7 for d in an=a(n−1)+d.an=a(n−1)−7
