The recursive formula for the sequence can be expressed as follows:


S_n =S_((n-1)) +15

Let's denote the amount of money in Shannon's savings account after n weeks as S_n . The initial deposit is $25, and each subsequent deposit is $15.

The recursive formula for the sequence can be expressed as follows:


S_n =S_((n-1)) +15

This formula states that the amount of money in the account after n weeks (S_n ) is equal to the amount in the account after n−1 weeks (S_n−1) plus the additional $15 deposited each week.

Question
