Question

What is the importance of explicit formula?

Answer 1

Answer:

Writing Explicit Formulas for Sequences

Many sequences can be described by a rule called an explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence. Explicit formulas are important because they can be used to calculate any term in the sequence by substituting a particular value for n.

Answer 2

Using Explicit Formulas for Geometric Sequences Because a geometric sequence is an exponential function whose domain is the set of positive integers, and the common ratio is the base of the function, we can write explicit formulas that allow us to find particular terms
