Math Problem Statement

Use the initial term and the recursive formula to find an explicit formula for the sequence 

a

n

.

Write your answer in simplest form.

Solution

It seems like part of your question got cut off, especially the recursive formula for the sequence. You provided the initial term a1=59a_1 = 59, but the recursive formula is missing from the message.

Could you please clarify or provide the full recursive formula for ana_n? The recursive formula should express ana_n in terms of the previous term(s), such as:

an=f(an1)(or something similar).a_n = f(a_{n-1}) \quad \text{(or something similar)}.

Once you provide that, I'll be able to find the explicit formula for the sequence.
