<h3>What is the missing element in a sequence?</h3>
A sequence is a set of elements which observes at least a <em>defined</em> rule. In this question we see a sequence which follows this rule:
(1)
Now we prove that given expression contains the pattern:
n = 0
7
n = 1
7 + (- 1)² · 2² = 7 + 4 = 11
n = 2
7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² = 11 - 9 = 2
n = 3
7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² = 2 + 16 = 18
n = 4
7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² + (- 1)⁵ · 5² = 18 - 25 = - 7
The <em>missing</em> pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula , equivalent to the <em>recurrence</em> formula
