A sequence is defined by , for . Diego writes an equation for the nth term of the sequence as . Is he correct? Explain how you know.
Compare your answer:
Yes. For example: Both definitions create a sequence that starts at –3 and increases by 0.5 each term.
- How would you describe the representation , for for Diego’s sequence?
Compare your answer:
It is the recursive definition of the sequence.
- How would you describe the representation of Diego’s sequence, ?
Compare your answer:
This is the nth term of the sequence.
