Find the recursive formula of the sequence below:
12, 24, 36, 48
12*n
Thanks I don't know why that didn't come across my mind...
recursive formula for the seqence of the number of sqares in each figure
To find the recursive formula for a sequence, we need to identify the pattern or rule that defines how each term is related to the previous terms.
Looking at the given sequence: 12, 24, 36, 48
We can observe that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. Therefore, the recursive formula for this sequence can be written as:
a(n) = 2 * a(n-1)
where a(n) represents the nth term of the sequence, and a(n-1) represents the previous term.
Note: The first term, a(1), is given as 12 (the first number in the sequence).
