Write Recursive Formulas for Sequences (2 Methods)

Learn how to write recursive formulas for sequences in this video math tutorial by Mario's Math Tutoring. We go through 3 examples showing two different methods for each problem. One example is an arithmetic sequence another is geometric and the third is neither and a little bit more challenging.

when do you use recursive and aritmetic? can you use either?

Sir, it was so good, thank you

I hope this help in my first quarter examination

Sir, how to find if it is a repeated term or not for following type of questions where formulae is given. Eg N+1 term is (nth term + 1 )/n-1th term. A1 = 5, A2 = 7

How did you get -2 when you substituted 6 into n

[@tungsten_disulphide]

The 6 is substituted into the "n" of the aₙ₋₁, which means a₅, the 5th term of the series. Now look back to the series given, we are given that the 5th term is 2. So now you wanna find the 6th term, use the recursive formula, and you will get a₆=a₅-4, which is 2-4 you will get -2. I assume that you know where the 4 comes from.

[@vellagex1759]

Very helpful thanks

[@wolfcompany2]

yeaaa but what if the n-term is like 120th value? lol....

[@providence3977]

Then use explicit formula

[@leszz]

That’s what I’m tryna find out lmao
