Recursive patterns
Vocabulary Recursive equation: An equation that shows how to calculate the value of the next term from the value of the current term. Sequence: A list of numbers where each term is based on the previous terms using a set pattern or rule.
Vocabulary Domain: The set of all inputs. (x-values) Range: The set of all outputs. (y-values) TERM NUMBER VALUE
