Acc. Coordinate Algebra / Geometry A Day 36 Learning Target: Students can use the recursive formula to find the next term of a sequence.
Arithmetic & Geometric Sequences Recursive Formula
Recursive Formula a formula used to find the next term of a sequence when the previous term is known
Recursive Formula for Arithmetic Sequence
Ex: The first term is 1 for an = an-1 – 2. Find the next two terms.
Recursive Formula for Geometric Sequence
Ex: The first term is 320 for an = -1/4 an-1. Find the next two terms.
