Let the first five terms of a sequence be, 4,8,12,20,24

Ok, let me explain the meaning of term explicit and Recursive formula.

Explicit formula ,is the general formula to find any term of the sequence.

And, Recursive formula, is the method by which, we can find the nth term of the sequence if (n-1)th term of the sequence is known.

So,the explicit formula for the sequence is,

y = 4 n, where , n is any natural number.

And the recursive formula is .

y = 4 (n-1), with the help of (n-1)th term we can find nth term.

First term =4=4 × 1

Second term =8 =4 × 2

Third term =12=4×3

Fourth term =16 =4 × 4

(n-1) th term =4 × (n-1)

nth term =4 × n

Applying the simple procedure by looking at the first , second and the way the next term goes , the general and recursive formula is obtained.

As, you said you don't want simpler sequence

Consider the first five terms of the sequence, 0, 3,8,15, 24.

Explicit formula =n² + 2 n

Recursive formula=(n-1)²+2(n-1)

If,you will look at the sequence, it is neither Arithmetic nor geometric .

First term =0=0²+0×0

Second term =3=1+2=1²+2 × 1

Third term =8=4+4=2²+2×2

Fourth term =15=9+6=3²+2×3

Fifth term =24=16 +8=4²+2×4

So, Explicit formula= n²+ 2 n, where n is a whole number.

Answer from: colemanjosiah03

The answer is 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to write the first five terms of a sequence, along with the explicit and recursive formula for the general term of the sequence.

Let the first five terms of a sequence be 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80. These terms are taken from a geometric sequence with first term a_1 5 and common ratio r=2.

Therefore, we have

$a_2=a_1\times r,\\\\a_3=a_2\times r,\ldots$

Therefore, the recursive formula is

$a_{n+1}=2a_n,~~a_1=5.$

And explicit formula is

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}.$

Rounding decimals is very similar to rounding other numbers. if the hundredths and thousandths places of a decimal is forty-nine or less, they are dropped and the tenths place does not change. for example, rounding 0.843 to the nearest tenth would give 0.8. , your welcome !
