Q. Use the initial term and the recursive formula to find an explicit formula for the sequence a. Write your answer in simplest form. a=−51a=a−7a = ______
Initial Term Given: The initial term of the sequence is given as a=−51. This is the first term of the sequence, often denoted as a1.
Recursive Formula Correction: The recursive formula given is a=a−7. This means that each term is 7 less than the previous term. However, this recursive formula is not correctly written. It should have a subscript to indicate the terms. For example, it should be written as an=an−1−7, where an is the nth term and an−1 is the (n−1)th term.
