Learn how to find recursive formulas for arithmetic sequences. For example, find the recursive formula of 3, 5, 7,...

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 …

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

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 …

Sal shows how to evaluate a sequence that is defined with a recursive formula. This definition gives the base case and then defines how to find the subsequent terms using the base case.

Find the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence given the first few terms.

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 …

How do you translate between recursive and explicit rules for arithmetic sequences?

Sal finds an explicit formula of a geometric sequence given the first few terms of the sequences. Then he explores equivalent forms the explicit formula and finds the corresponding recursive …
