In which situation below would you want to use the Explicit Formula instead of the Recursive Formula
a.Find the 4th term when the first term is 7 and the common difference is -2.
b.Find the 7th term when the first term is -1 and the common difference is 10.
c.Find the 7th term when the first term is -1 and the common difference is 10.
d.Find the 11th term when the first term is -3 and the common difference is 4.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

An explicit formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of any term in the sequence. ... A recursive formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of the nth term in the sequence if you know the value of the (n-1)th term in the sequence.

The explicit formula will be best used in finding the 7th term when the first term is -1 and the common difference is 10, the correct option is B.

What is a Recursive formula?

A recursive formula is used to determine the nth term when (n-1) th term is given in the series.

The Explicit formula is when any term of the sequence has to be determined on the basis of the first term and the common difference.

The recursive formula just requires one operation, while the explicit formula requires multiple operations,

The recursive formula is limited to determining the consecutive terms while the explicit formula can be used to determine any term of the sequence.

The explicit formula will be best used in finding the 7th term when the first term is -1 and the common difference is 10.
