Since recursive sequences rules vary from each other it is nearly impossible to create a general pattern that applies to all recursive sequences unlike arithmetic or geometric sequences. For example suppose the common ratio is 9.
The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is.
The common ratio r - 4. The recursive formula allows us to calculate the next term in the sequence from the previous term. This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. Explicit Formulas for Geometric Sequences Using Recursive Formulas for Geometric Sequences.
