How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the initial values a0 and a1 for the two-term recurrence.
  2. Set Coefficient p (for a_{n-1}) and Coefficient q (for a_{n-2}).
  3. Enter Target n to compute the nth term of the sequence.
  4. Review a(n) Value from the iterative calculation and the Closed-Form Estimate.
  5. Use the Closed-Form Estimate to identify the dominant growth rate (exponential, polynomial, etc.).
