a_1=3, a_n=a_(n-1) +2
To generate the first ten terms of the sequence, we will use spreadsheet. Enter the first term a_1=3 into cell A1. Then enter =A1+2 into cell A2. Using the fill down feature, the spreadsheet generates these terms.
b We are given a recursive rule for a sequence.
a_1=3, a_n=4a_(n-1)
To generate the first ten terms of the sequence, we will use spreadsheet. Enter the first term a_1=3 into cell A1. Then enter =4*A1 into cell A2. Using the fill down feature, the spreadsheet generates these terms.
c We are given a recursive rule for a sequence.
a_1=3, a_2=7, a_n=a_(n-1)-a_(n-2)
To generate the first ten terms of the sequence, we will use spreadsheet. Enter the first term a_1=3 into cell A1 and the second term a_2=7 into cell A2. Then enter =A2-A1 into cell A3. Using the fill down feature, the spreadsheet generates the terms.
