Q. Complete the recursive formula of the arithmetic sequence 1,15,29,43,…..a(1)=a(n)=a(n−1)+
Identify first term: Identify the first term of the sequence. The first term is given as 1.
Determine common difference: Determine the common difference by subtracting the first term from the second term. The second term is 15, so the common difference is 15−1=14.
Write recursive formula: Write the recursive formula using the first term and the common difference. The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is a(n)=a(n−1)+d, where d is the common difference.
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the first term and the common difference into the recursive formula. The first term a(1) is 1, and the common difference d is 14. Therefore, the recursive formula is a(n)=a(n−1)+14.
