Q. f(n)=64+6nComplete the recursive formula of f(n).f(1)=□f(n)=f(n−1)+
Identifying the Pattern: To find the recursive formula for the sequence, we need to express f(n) in terms of f(n−1). Let's start by calculating the first few terms of the sequence to identify the pattern.f(1)=64+6(1)=64+6=70f(2)=64+6(2)=64+12=76f(3)=64+6(3)=64+18=82
Finding the Constant Difference: Now, let's find the difference between consecutive terms to see if it's constant.f(2)−f(1)=76−70=6f(3)−f(2)=82−76=6The difference is constant and equal to 6, which is the coefficient of n in the original formula.
Writing the Recursive Formula: Using the pattern we've identified, we can write the recursive formula. Since the difference between consecutive terms is 6, we can express f(n) as f(n−1) plus this difference.So, the recursive formula is:f(1)=70f(n) = f(n-1) + 6 \text{ for } n > 1
