Q. h(n)=−31−7(n−1)Complete the recursive formula of h(n).h(1)=□h(n)=h(n−1)+
Find h(1): First, let's find the value of h(1) by substituting n=1 into the given formula.h(1)=−31−7(1−1)h(1)=−31−7(0)h(1)=−31−0h(1)=−31
Calculate h(2): Now, let's find h(2) to understand the pattern of the sequence.h(2)=−31−7(2−1)h(2)=−31−7(1)h(2)=−31−7h(2)=−38
Confirm pattern with h(3): We can see that going from h(1) to h(2), we subtract 7. This suggests that the recursive formula involves subtracting 7 from the previous term. To confirm this pattern, let's calculate h(3).h(3)=−31−7(3−1)h(3)=−31−7(2)h(3)=−31−14h(3)=−45
Recursive formula for h(n): Comparing h(2) to h(3), we again subtract 7 from h(2) to get h(3). This confirms that the recursive formula for h(n) is h(n)=h(n−1)−7.
