What is the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?
a_n = a_1 + (n+1)d
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)c
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
a_n = a_1 - (n-1)d

Give an example of an explicit formula for a geometric sequence.
a_n = a_1 + r^(n-1)
a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1)
a_n = a_1 + r^n
a_n = a_1 * r^n

Explain the difference between an explicit formula and a recursive formula for a sequence.
An explicit formula and a recursive formula both provide the nth term directly.
An explicit formula and a recursive formula both define the nth term based on previous terms.
An explicit formula provides the nth term directly, while a recursive formula defines the nth term based on previous terms.
