Arithmetic sequences — recursive & explicit.
The sequence we'll model
3,7,11,15,19,…
Step01of 05
An arithmetic sequence adds the same number to get the next term. Subtract any pair of consecutive terms to find that number — the common difference d.
d=7−3=411−7=415−11=4
Every gap is 4, so this is arithmetic with d=4. The first term is a1=3.
