### Recursive and Non-Recursive Sequences
**Problem 7:**
1) Define the sequence recursively: \( a_n = n^2 - 2n + 1 \) for \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \)
2) Define the sequence recursively: \( a_n = (n+1)! \) for \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \)
3) Find the non-recursive formula for \( f(n) \):
- Initial condition: \( f(0) = 6 \)
- Recursive formula: \( f(n) = f(n-1) + 15 \) for \( n \geq 1 \)
4) Find the non-recursive formula for \( f(n) \):
- Initial condition: \( f(0) = 3 \)
- Recursive formula: \( f(n) = -2f(n-1)/7 \) for \( n \geq 1 \)
---
### Explanations:
- **Recursive Definition:** This involves defining a sequence based on previous terms. It's useful for defining sequences where a pattern can be observed.
- **Non-Recursive Formula:** Finding a direct formula that describes the sequence without dependency on previous terms simplifies calculations, especially for large \( n \).
Understand these processes by recognizing patterns and relationships within sequences, a fundamental skill in mathematical analysis and computer science.
