Q. f(n)=93+4(n−1)Complete the recursive formula of f(n).f(1)=□f(n)=f(n−1)+□
Establish Base Case: To find the recursive formula for the sequence, we need to express f(n) in terms of f(n−1). The given explicit formula is f(n)=93+4(n−1). Let's first find f(1) to establish the base case of the recursive formula.Calculation: f(1)=93+4(1−1)=93+4(0)=93+0=93
Find f(2): Now, let's find f(2) using the explicit formula to see the relationship between f(2) and f(1).Calculation: f(2)=93+4(2−1)=93+4(1)=93+4=97
Identify Recursive Relationship: We can see that f(2) is 4 more than f(1). This is because the sequence increases by 4 each time (as indicated by the +4 in the explicit formula). Therefore, the recursive formula will involve adding 4 to the previous term.Calculation: f(n)=f(n−1)+4
Recursive Formula: We have established the base case and the recursive step. The recursive formula for the sequence is:f(1)=93f(n)=f(n−1)+4 for n > 1
