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.
a

Solution
It seems like part of your question got cut off, especially the recursive formula for the sequence. You provided the initial term , but the recursive formula is missing from the message.
Could you please clarify or provide the full recursive formula for ? The recursive formula should express in terms of the previous term(s), such as:
Once you provide that, I'll be able to find the explicit formula for the sequence.
