Generating formulas
Generating formulas are mathematical expressions used to create sequences or patterns of numbers based on specific rules. They help predict or produce terms in a series without listing each one manually. For example, a generating formula for even numbers is 2n, where n is a positive whole number. As n increases, the formula generates each subsequent even number. These formulas are useful in mathematics and science for analyzing patterns, solving problems, and understanding relationships within data sets efficiently.
