A recursive formula for 9, -18, 36, -27, ... 2008-06-05
From Rita:
I am having trouble understanding how to write formulas (I should say create formulas) from a given sequence. It does not matter what sort of sequence it is. The confusion remains. I have not found a textbook or easy math book that explains this process for the average Joe to grasp. Here are the two questions:

(1) Write a recursive formula for the sequence
9, -18, 36, -72, ...

(2) Write a recursive formula for the sequence
3, 3(sqrt{3}), 9, 9(sqrt{3})
