Learn how to find recursive formulas for arithmetic sequences. For example, find the recursive formula of 3, 5, 7,... Before taking this lesson, make sure you are familiar with the basics of arithmetic …

Understanding Patterns: Recursive formulas show how each number in a sequence is calculated based on the previous one. This helps you recognize and understand number patterns.

Learn how to convert between recursive and explicit formulas of arithmetic sequences. Before taking this lesson, make sure you know how to find recursive formulas and explicit formulas of arithmetic …

The explicit formula of a sequence is the expression representing exactly the nth term of the sequence. Think of it as a function that inputs term number and outputs the value of that term number of a …

You might be a little bit, a toss up on which method you want to use, but for sure this second method, right over here where we'd come up with an explicit formula once we know the initial term, and we …

In this lesson, we'll be learning two new ways to represent arithmetic sequences: recursive formulas and explicit formulas. Formulas give us instructions on how to find any term of a sequence.

So the whole point of this video, you're a little bit familiar with recursive functions now, and also you can see how these can be used to define actual sequences.

In this lesson, we'll be learning two new ways to represent arithmetic sequences: recursive formulas and explicit formulas. Formulas give us instructions on how to find any term of a sequence.

Sal is given an arithmetic sequence in explicit form and he converts it to recursive form. Then he does so the other way around!

Find the recursive formula of a geometric sequence given the first few terms or given an explicit formula.
