Explicit formula — role?
Directly computes the n-th term without previous terms.
Sequence — definition?
Ordered list of numbers with a rule.
Sequence — definition?
An ordered list of numbers indexed by natural numbers.
Explicit formula — purpose?
Directly computes the $n$-th term.
Recurrence relation — mechanism?
Defines each term based on previous terms.
Recurrence relation — role?

Sequence consistently increasing or decreasing.
Growth pattern — examples?
Linear, exponential, or polynomial.
Limit — sequence concept?
Value sequence approaches as n→∞.
