Example 2
Find the missing terms in the sequence using recursion.
[list=1][br][*]First look for the pattern. Is there a common difference or common ratio?[br][*]Use the formula to find the missing terms: [math]a_{n} [/math]= [math]a_{n-1}[/math] + 5.[br][/list][br][br]This applet is provided by Walch Education as supplemental material for their mathematics programs.
