What is the difference between explicit and recursive forms of sequences?

a. Explicit and recursive forms are the same thing. They just have two different names.

b. The explicit form is written in terms of the previous term and recursive form is written in terms of the number of the term.

c. The explicit form is written in terms of the number of the term and the recursive form is written in terms of the previous term.

d. You use explicit form if you have to multiply each term by a constant to get the next term, and use recursive form if you have to add a constant to each term to get the next term.
