Solution to Thursday’s assignment: Solution

 

Lesson: 6.7b Recursively Defined Sequences

Learning Tool: Big Ideas Algebra textbook, page 312

Goal: I can write recursive rules for sequences using function notation by understanding that a(n -1) is the term before the a(n) term

Background Notes

Your textbook using subscript notation, while we have been using function notation

The advantage of function notation is that it reminds us that a sequence is a function in which the input is the term number, n, and the output is the term a(n)

The following is a link showing the similarities and differences between the two types of notation: function notation vs subscript notation

Notes:

You are responsible for taking your own notes by reading through the following examples in your Big Ideas textbook, beginning on page 312. 

Example 1: Writing Terms of Recursively Defined Sequences (even number completed)

Example 2: Writing Recursive Rules

Example 3: Translating Recursive Rules into Explicit Equations

Example 4: Translating Explicit Equations into Recursive Rules

Example 5:Writing Recursive Rules for Other Sequences
