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:
[tex]43-25=18[/tex]
[tex]61-43=18[/tex]
[tex]79-61=18[/tex]
[tex]97-79=18[/tex]
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:
[tex]F(n)=F(n-1)+d[/tex]
Where, d is the common difference and F(1) is the first term.
Putting [tex]d=18[/tex], we get
[tex]F(n)=F(n-1)+18[/tex], where [tex]F(1)=25[/tex].
Therefore, the required recursive formula is [tex]F(n)=F(n-1)+18[/tex], where [tex]F(1)=25[/tex].
