Given:
The sequence is:
25,43,61,79,97
To find:
The recursive formula for the given sequence.
Solution:
We have,
25,43,61,79,97
Here, the first term is 25. Now, the differences between the two consecutive terms are:
The differences between the two consecutive terms is common, i.e., 18. So, the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is:
Where, d is the common difference and F(1) is the first term.
Putting
, we get
Therefore, the required recursive formula is
, where
.
