Recursive and Explicit Equations

Would you use the recursive or explicit equation in this situation?

• Recursive

• Explicit

Given the arithmetic sequence where the first term is 5 and the common difference is 3, write the recursive equation for the sequence.

Write the recursive equation for the geometric sequence with the first term 2 and common ratio 5.

For the geometric sequence with the first term 3 and common ratio 2, write the explicit equation.

Given the arithmetic sequence where the first term is 10 and the common difference is -2, write the recursive equation.

Given the arithmetic sequence where the first term is -4 and the common difference is 6, write the recursive equation.

For the arithmetic sequence with the first term -5 and common difference 7, write the explicit equation.

Write the recursive equation for the geometric sequence with the first term 10 and common ratio 4.

For the arithmetic sequence with the first term 0 and common difference 9, write the explicit equation.

For the arithmetic sequence with the first term 2 and common difference 5, write the explicit equation.
