Q. h(n)=−13nComplete 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 formula. The explicit formula is h(n)=−13n. To find the first term, substitute n=1 into the formula.Calculation: h(1)=−13×1=−13
Determine common difference: Determine the common difference between consecutive terms. Since the sequence is defined by a linear formula h(n)=−13n, the common difference is the coefficient of n, which is −13.
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.Since we have h(1)=−13 and d=−13, the recursive formula is h(n)=h(n−1)−13.
