Algebra-1

In an arithmetic sequence, each term is obtained by adding a constant value, called the common difference, to the previous term. The common difference remains constant throughout the sequence.

The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence defines each term in relation to the previous term(s) using addition. It can be expressed in the following form:

a(n) = a(n-1) + d

To find the value of a specific term in the sequence using the recursive formula, you start with the initial term (a(1)) and apply the formula repeatedly, adding the common difference to the previous term.

Here, 'a(n)' represents the value of the nth term in the sequence, 'a(n-1)' represents the value of the (n-1)th term, and 'd' represents the common difference.
