Q. h(n)=−31−7(n−1)Complete the recursive formula of h(n).h(1)=□h(n)=h(n−1)+□
Find First Term: Determine the first term of the sequence h(n). To find h(1), we substitute n=1 into the given formula h(n)=−31−7(n−1). h(1)=−31−7(1−1)h(1)=−31−7(0)h(1)=−31−0h(1)=−31
Calculate Difference: Find the difference between consecutive terms of the sequence.Since the sequence is defined by h(n)=−31−7(n−1), we can see that the sequence decreases by 7 for each increase in n by 1. This is because the term −7(n−1) decreases by 7 each time n increases by 1.
Write Recursive Formula: Write the recursive formula using the first term and the common difference.The recursive formula for a sequence where each term is found by adding a constant difference to the previous term is given by:h(n)=h(n−1)+d, where d is the common difference.Since the sequence decreases by 7, d=−7.Therefore, the recursive formula is:h(n)=h(n−1)−7
