Q. h(n)=−10+12nComplete the recursive formula of h(n).h(1)=□h(n)=h(n−1)+
Identify first term: Identify the first term of the sequence using the given explicit formulah(n)=−10+12n. To find h(1), substitute n=1 into the formula.Calculation: h(1)=−10+12(1)=−10+12=2.
Determine common difference: Determine the common difference of the sequence by calculating the difference between the terms h(2) and h(1). First, find h(2) by substituting n=2 into the explicit formula.Calculation: h(2)=−10+12(2)=−10+24=14.
Calculate common difference: Now, calculate the common difference by subtracting h(1) from h(2).Calculation: Common difference (d)=h(2)−h(1)=14−2=12.
Write recursive formula: Write the recursive formula using the first term and the common difference. The recursive formula has the form h(n)=h(n−1)+d, where d is the common difference.Calculation: Since h(1)=2 and d=12, the recursive formula is h(n)=h(n−1)+12.
