What is the difference between a recursive and an explicit formula?

∙ 13y ago
a recursive formula is always based on a preceding value and uses A n-1 and the formula must have a start point (an A1) also known as a seed value.
unlike recursion, explicit forms can stand alone and you can put any value into the "n" and one answer does not depend on the answer before it. we assume the "n" starts with 1 then 2 then 3 and so on
arithmetic sequence: an = a1 + d(n-1) this does not depend on a previous value

Will the explicit formula find the same answer when using the recursive formula?
It is often possible to find an explicit formula that gives the same answer as a given recursive formula - and vice versa. I don't think you can always find an explicit formula that gives the same answer.

What recursive formulas represents the same arithmetic sequence as the explicit formula an 5 n - 12?

What is the example of an explicit formula?
An explicit formula is a formula in which depicts relations between the sums over complex number zeros and over prime numbers. An example of an explicit formula is: _(t) = _log(_) + Re(_(1/4 + it/2)).
A certain arithmetic sequence has the recursive formula If the common difference between the terms of the sequence is -11 what term follows the term that has the value 11?
In this case, 22 would have the value of 11.
What is the recursive and explicit formula when a patient receives medication of 30 milligrams every 4 hours for 5 days. The patient also loses 30 of the medication in the bloodstream after 4 hrs.?
The recursive formula isU1 = 30Un+1 = Un + 30 for 1 < =n
Is there any difference between chemical formula or molecular formula?
no
What is the simple formula corresponding to the explicit formula if the first term of the sequence is -10 and the difference between terms in the sequence is 3?
Assuming each term is 3 MORE than the previous term t(n) = -13 + 3*n where n = 1, 2, 3, ...
What is the recursive formula for 2 1 3 4 7 11?
It look like a Fibonacci sequence seeded by t1 = 2 and t2 = 1. After that the recursive formula is simply tn+1 = tn-1 + tn.
