quadratic recursive
f(n)=f(n-1)+1st diff+2nd diff(n-1)
exponential explicit
f(n)=f(1)(r^x-1) [for example: if 25,75,225 then it’s * by 3 = 3 is r]
or f(n)=f(0)(r^x)
exponential recursive
f(1)=1st term
f(n)=f(n-1)*r
linear explicit
f(n)=f(1)+(n-1)d (d is rate of change)
linear recursive
f(1)=1st term
f(n)=d+f(n-1)
