A2L52 - SMARTBOARD Recursive Formula

The document discusses how to generate sequences using recursive formulas, defining sequences and recursive formulas, and differentiating between recursive and explicit formulas. It includes examples of arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as practice exercises for generating terms and writing formulas. The document concludes with a summary of key concepts and an exit slip for further practice.
