Lesson 5.2.3 – How do Recursive Sequences Work? - Recursive Sequences Objective - I will be able to write Recursive equations for Arithmetic Sequences and convert between explicit and recursive equations for an Arithmetic Sequence Quote of the Day - “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.” ― Jimmy Johnson

Explicit Equation: An equation in which the initial value is given within the equation, and all other values may be found by substituting any value for the variable in the equation. EX – f(x)=3x+5; the initial value is 5 and all other values may be found by substituting a value for x. Recursive Equation: An equation in which all previous values must be given first to be able to find the next value in the sequence. Depending on the initial and preceding values the output of a Recursive Equation will change.
