This applet displays the sequence produced by a first-order difference equation.
Enter a rule for in the text box, and select an initial condition by dragging or typing a value. Drag the slider at the bottom to see more or less terms of the sequence.
The numerical values of the sequence, produced by iteration, are shown in the spreadsheet to the right.
