Lesson Plan

Determine an explicit expression (closed-form formula) for a function from a contextual description, giving f(x) directly in terms of x

Determine a recursive process for a function, defining f(n) in terms of f(n-1) with a specified initial value

Describe a step-by-step calculation process for situations where neither a single formula nor a simple recursion is available

Choose between explicit, recursive, and procedural representations based on which best matches the context

Translate between explicit and recursive forms for linear and exponential relationships

Verify that explicit and recursive representations generate the same sequence of values
