Step-by-step explanation:
Recursive Sequence
We are given the following sequence:
-1, 1, 5, 13...
It's required to find the recursive term for the sequence.
A recursive formula calculates each term as a function of one or more previous terms.
To find the recursive formula, we must find a pattern and transform it into a math expression.
Let's write the sequence, and below it, the difference of consecutive terms:
-1, 1, 5, 13...
+2, +4, +8
Note the difference between consecutive terms is always a power of 2, starting from 2^1, 2^2, 2^3.
The exponent is one less than the number of the term, thus:
Thus:
