Recursive Sequences

A recursive sequence is defined by performing operations on one or more previous terms.

We have the sequence:

-5 , 3 , -2 , 1 , -1 , 0

We can observe each term is the sum of the two previous terms:

-5 + 3 = -2

3 - 2 = 1

-2 + 1 = -1

1 - 1 = 0

Next term is the sum of -1 + 0 = -1

Next terms are:

-1 , -1, -2, -3, -5,...
