1 Geometric and arithmetic sequences
Recursive AND Explicit Forms

2 Definitions Arithmetic Sequences Geometric Sequences
Goes from one term to the next by adding and subtracting. Geometric Sequences Goes from one term to the next by multiplying or dividing.

3 Arithmetic Sequences Recursive Form: an = an-1 + d
Explicit Form: an = a + (n – 1)d “an ” means the n-th term (what you are looking for) “an-1 ” means the number before the n-th term (recursive only) “a” or “a1 ” represents the first term (explicit only) “n” represents the term number “d” represents the common difference from one number to the next

4 Arithmetic sequences:
Identifying the difference between recursive and explicit: Recursive Form: an = an-1 + d Explicit Form: an = a + (n – 1)d * a4 = ?; a3 = 6 ; d = * a4 = ?; a3 = 6 ; d = 2; a = 2; n =4 a4 = a a4 = 2 +(4 - 1) 2 a4 = a a4 = 2 +(3) 2 a4 = a4 = 2 +6 a4 = a4 = 8

5 Arithmetic sequences:
Identify the following as being explicit or recursive: a5 = 10 +(5 - 1) 6 a7 = a a2 = 1 +(2 - 1) 12 a4 = a a3 = 17 +(3 - 1) 4 a6 = a a8 = 5 +(8 - 1) 5 a9 = a Answers on next slide.

6 Arithmetic sequences:
Identify the following as being explicit or recursive: (ANSWERS) a5 = 10 +(5 - 1) 6 EXPLICIT a7 = a RECURSIVE a2 = 1 +(2 - 1) 12 EXPLICIT a4 = a RECURSIVE a6 = a a8 = 5 +(8 - 1) 5 a3 = 17 +(3 - 1) 4 a9 = a

7 Arithmetic sequences:
Using the information, write the arithmetic sequence in the correct form. Recursive Form: an = an-1 + d Explicit Form: an = a + (n – 1)d 1. n = 5; d = 6; a = n = 5; d = 6 3. n = 7; d = -4 4. n = 7; d = -4; a = n = 5; d = 3; a = n = 2; d = 9 Answers on next slide.

8 Arithmetic sequences:
Using the information, write the arithmetic sequence in the correct form and simplify. Recursive Form: an = an-1 + d Explicit Form: an = a + (n – 1)d (ANSWERS) 1. n = 5; d = 6; a = n = 5; d = 6 3. n = 7; d = -4 a5 = 2 + (5 – 1)6 a5 = a a7 = a a5 = 2 + (4)6 a5 = a a7 = a6 - 4 a5 = 26 *need a4 *need a6 4. n = 7; d = -4; a = n = 5; d = 3; a = n = 2; d = 9 Answers on next slide.

9 Arithmetic sequences:
Using the given data set write the correct sequence recursively AND explicitly. Example: …. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th th th … Recursively an = an-1 + d Explicitly an = a + (n – 1)d d = 3 (the difference between the numbers) a = 2 (first term); d = 3 an = an an = 2 + (n – 1)3

12 Arithmetic sequencing application
Example one: Renting a backhoe costs a flat fee of $65 plus an additional $35 per hour. a. Write the first four terms of a sequence that represents the total cost of renting the backhoe for 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours. b. What is the common difference? C. What are the 5th, 24th, 48th and 72nd terms in the sequence? Answers on next slide.

13 Geometric sequences Recursive Form: an = an-1 * r
Explicit Form: an = ar(n – 1) “an ” means the n-th term (the term you want) “an-1 ” means the number before the n-th term (recursive only) “a” or “a1 ” represents the first term (explicit only) “n” represents the term number “r” represents the common ratio
