Endospores are hardy, defensive structures that enable some bacteria to survive harmful environmental conditions, such as starvation, high temperatures, desiccation (drying out), chemical disinfectants and extremes in pH.
Recursive formula is a formula that is used to determine the next term of a sequence using one or more of the preceding terms.
Function Notation and Recursive Formulas Recall that a recursive formula for a pattern is a rule that allows us to find the value of one term in the pattern if we know the previous term. For example, in the pattern {1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 â¦}, notice that each term is one more than twice the previous term.
