This document discusses arithmetic sequences and provides formulas for writing recursive and explicit expressions for terms in an arithmetic sequence. It gives an example of the arithmetic sequence 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, which has a common difference of 4. The recursive formula is defined as an = an-1 + d. The explicit or closed form formula is defined as an = a1 + (n-1)d, which allows finding any term without knowing all previous terms. It asks the reader to find the term number for the last term in the sequence -6, -3, 0, 3, ..., 147 and to determine the values of d and c in the explicit formula an = dn + c for the sequence 8, 6,
