1/Explicitly: with a formula that contains and uses n, the term number. 
Example. The sequence 9, 12, 15, 18.......... can be represented by the formula an = 3n + 6. 
2/Recursively: with a formula containing and using a(n-1), the previous term. 
Example: 9, 12, 15, 18...........can be represented by the formula an = a(n-1)+3. The first term (a1) needs to be specified (a1 = 9)
