5-9 Graphing a Recursion Formula

kGenerating a Number Table from a Recursion Formula

Description

You can input up to three of the following types of recursion formulas and generate a number table.

•General term of sequence {an}, composed of an, n

•Linear two-term recursion composed of an+1, an, n

•Linear three-term recursion composed of an+2, an+1, an, n

Set Up

1. From the Main Menu, enter the RECUR mode.

Execution

2.Specify the recursion type.

3(TYPE)1(an) ... {general term of sequence an}

2(an+1) ... {linear two-term recursion}

3(an+2) ... {linear three-term recursion}

3.Input the recursion formula.

4.Specify the table range. Specify a start point and end point for n. If necessary, specify a value for the initial term, and a pointer start point value if you plan to graph the formula.

5.Display the recursion formula number table.
