How to find the first four terms of a recursive formula

The video tutorial explains how to use a recursive formula to find terms in a sequence. Starting with an initial value, the instructor demonstrates how to calculate subsequent terms by plugging previous values into the formula. The process is illustrated step-by-step for the first four terms, emphasizing the importance of understanding the recursive relationship. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the recursive method, reinforcing the concept of using previous terms to find new ones.
