Help please, and thank you

Francine and Genevieve were arguing about whether a recursive formula or an explicit formula was better to know to find the 376th term in a sequence. Francine believes that it is the recursive formula, while Genevieve believes that it is the explicit formula. Who is correct? 1st correct answer gets a thanks :)
