The recursive formula is used to find the next value in a sequence of numbers.

• True
• False

The explicit formula is used to find a specific or later term in a sequence.

• True
• False

What is the recursive equation for this function?

• f(0) = 5
  f(x) = f(x-1) - 2
• f(0) = 5
  f(x) = f(x-1) + 2
• f(0) = 5
  f(x) = f(x-1) - 3  
• f(0) = 5
  f(x) = f(x-1) + 3 

What is the explicit equations for this function? 

• f(x) = -2(x-0) + 5
• f(x) = -2(x-0) + 0
• f(x) = 2(x-0) + 5
• f(x) = 2(x-0) + 0
