Answer to Problem 63PPE
The second, third and fourth terms of the sequence are
The explicit formula for given sequence is
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The recursive formula for the sequence is
Calculation:
By substituting n= 2,3 and 4 and then by using the previous term, we get the second, third and fourth terms of the sequence.
Thus, the second, third and fourth terms of the sequence are
Now, the first term and common difference of the sequence is
Now, the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence with first term
Thus, explicit formula for given sequence is
