In recurrence relation, each further term of a sequence or array is defined as a function of its succeeding terms.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during an online exam.

The above asked question is from Generalized Mean Value Theorem in portion Differential Calculus of Engineering Mathematics

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) False

To explain: A recurrence relation is an equation that recursively defines a sequence or multidimensional array of values, once one or more initial terms are given; each further term of the sequence or array is defined as a function of its preceding terms.
