Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by adding a common difference to the previous term

Given the explicit formula

A(n) = - 1 + (n - 1)(- 2)

This is an arithmetic sequence with explicit formula

A(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

For the given explicit formula, then

a₁ = - 1 and d = - 2

The recursive formula is then

$a_{n+1}$ = $a_{n}$ - 2 ; a₁ = - 1

Given:

$\rm \longmapsto x = a \sin \alpha \cos \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto y = b \sin \alpha \sin \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto z = c\cos \alpha$

Therefore:

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{x}{a} = \sin \alpha \cos \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{y}{b} = \sin \alpha \sin \beta$

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{z}{c} = \cos \alpha$

Now:

$\rm = \dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2}} + \dfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } + \dfrac{ {z}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} }$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha \cos^{2} \beta + { \sin}^{2} \alpha \sin^{2} \beta + { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha (\cos^{2} \beta + \sin^{2} \beta )+ { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha \cdot1+ { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = { \sin}^{2} \alpha + { \cos}^{2} \alpha$

$\rm = 1$

Therefore:

$\rm \longmapsto\dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2}} + \dfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } + \dfrac{ {z}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} } = 1$
