If you were asked to find the 87th term in a sequence, which formula would you want to be given?
A) analog form
B) digital form
C) explicit form
D) recursive form,
If you were asked to find the 87th term in a sequence, the formula you would want to be given is the explicit form. The correct answer to your questions is letter C. It is a formula that allows direct computation of any term for a sequence a1, a2, a3..an
Since the explicit form is written in terms of the number of the term, it would be the most useful to find the 87th term. To use the recursive form, you would have to know the 86th term.
