EXPLICIT FORMULAS

• Explicit Formulas define each term in a sequence directly.

• Explicit Formulas let you find any term in the sequence without knowing the value of the term before it.

• Explicit Formulas make your life easier!

What does an Explicit Formula do? Check all that apply.

• help find any number in a sequence

• help find any term in a sequence

• find a term without knowing the one before it.
