Question

Write the equation for the following table:
0 2
1 7
2 13
3 20

Answer 1

Explanation:

for each positive integer m, so that la - r2m-ll and la - r2m I are both less than

1 1

Ir2m - r2m-ll .:::: 42(m-l) Ir2 - rll = 24m - 3 ·

It follows that limn--->oo rn = limn--->oo rn-l = a. Taking limits in the recursion in

(d) leads to

1

a=I+--

l+a

which reduces to a 2 = 2. Since rn > 0 for each n, a > O.
