What questions do you have on this topic?
How to write recursive definitions? I struggle more with them than with explicit ones.
What mistakes are you most likely to make?
I dont know. I just make mistakes because I dont really understand the topic. Sometimes I confuse with the formulas.

A recursive definition of a sequence gives the first term and then a rule for getting the nth term from the previous term.

Find the recursive definition for the following sequence:
2, 4, 7, 11, ?

T1= 2
Tn = (Tn-1) – n
Find T5
T5= T(5-1) + n
T5= T4 + 5
T5= 11 + 5
T5= 16
