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=1a=a−10a = ______
Identify Type and Initial Term: Identify the type of sequence and the initial term. The initial term is given as a=1. The recursive formula is a=a−10, which seems to be incorrect because it suggests that each term is equal to itself minus 10, which is not a valid recursive definition. A recursive formula should define a term based on the previous term(s) in the sequence, typically denoted as an=an−1+d for an arithmetic sequence or an=r×an−1 for a geometric sequence. We need to correct the recursive formula to properly define the sequence.
