Do Now – Complete the volume problems in terms of pi NO CALCULATORS EXAMPLE Find the volume of a cone, in terms of pi, with a radius of 3 inches and a height of 6 inches. V = 1/3π(3 2 )(6) V = 1/3(9)(6) π V = 3(6) π V = 18π

Recursive Formulas For Arithmetic Sequences

Do you know the definition of “recursive”? According to Merriam Webster: relating to a procedure that can repeat itself indefinitely 9/3/2015

Mathematically Speaking Recursive Formula: –Formula where each term is based on the term before it. Arithmetic Sequence: Arithmetic Sequence: –Sequence with a constant difference between terms.

Domain of arithmetic sequences You can use arithmetic sequences as linear functions to model real- world situations. While the domain of some linear functions is the set of all real numbers, the domain of an arithmetic sequence as a linear function is the set of counting numbers, {1, 2, 3, 4, …}.

9/3/2015Example Consider the sequence generated byConsider the sequence generated by 2000, 2040, 2080, 2120, 2160, , 2040, 2080, 2120, 2160,... Describe this sequence in words.Describe this sequence in words. n = positive integers ≥ 2

How is a recursive function represented?

10/6/14 YOU TRY: Write an arithmetic sequence for the range of this sequence, If you buy a new car, you might be advised to have an oil change after driving 1000 miles and every 3000 miles thereafter. Then the following sequence gives the mileage when oil changes are required: n = positive integers ≥ 2

Another example; This time write the recursive formula Briana borrowed $870 from her parents for airfare to Europe. She will pay them back at the rate of $60.00 per month. Let a n be the amount she still owes after n months. Find a recursive formula for this sequence.Briana borrowed $870 from her parents for airfare to Europe.

9/3/ Explicit Formulas For Arithmetic Sequences

9/3/2015 Arithmetic Sequences Explicit Formula –F–F–F–Formula where any term can be found by substituting the number of that term. –W–W–W–We can develop an explicit formula for an Arithmetic Sequence from the recursive formula
