5. Using Recursive Rules with Sequences
Sign In
The nth square number, Sn, represents the number of dots in a square with the side made of n dots. Therefore, the total number of dots is n⋅n=n2. This tells us that the explicit rule for the sequence of square numbers is Sn=n2.
This tells us that Sn=Tn+Tn−1 for n>1.
