Taylor's 14th(I think XD) Blog Review

REVIEW TIME!!!!

This is the review on my notes from Ch. 13.2.

A recursive means define in terms of what came before.

This is what you need to remember:

tn-1 previous term
tn-2 2 terms back
tn-3 ....

Ok let's do some examples.

Find the third, fourth, and fifth terms given. t1=4 tn=8tn-1+7
t1=8 (4)+7= 39 First replace tn-1 with the previous terms. You will keep doing this until you get all three answers. Remember to use your answers and not t1!!
t2= 8 (39) + 7 = 319
t3= 8 (319) + 7= 2559
t4= 8 (2559) + 7 = 20479
t5= 8 (20479) + 7 = 163839
So your answers will be 2559, 20479, and 163839.

Now let's try finding the recursive definition for 8, 12, 16, 20...

First, you need to figure out how much is in-between each number and how to get to the next number with the previous numbers help.

Since there is 4 in between each number your answer or equation will be tn-1+4.

This is the review on the rest of my notes on Ch. 13.2. So SEE YALL!!! JA NE!!!(Japanese word for goodbye)
