Suppose the sequence is defined by the explicit formula

Simple. Follow instructions.

Suppose the sequence is defined by the recurrence

Stupid problem. Follow the multiplication pattern in the example. (7*2), (14*3),
(14*4)

Write the first four terms of the sequence

Just plug in the values n=1,2,3,4 into the equation and solve.
Write the first four terms of the sequence

Just plug in the sequential values of n=1,2,3,4 into the equation.

Write the first four terms of the sequence

Just plug in the sequential values of n=1,2,3,4 into the equation.

Write the first four terms of the sequence

Follow the recurrence form: a1=4, (9*4), (9*36), (9*324)

Write the first four terms of the sequence

Fairly simple. Just follow the multiplication order. (2*A1), (2*A2),

Several terms of a sequence

Fairly obvious from the example.

Given several terms of a sequence

Kind of just as it looks. If the first number in the sequence is positive, the last part
would be positive instead of negative.

Given several terms of a sequence

Part 1 and 2 are easy and similar.


For part 3, basically find the front combo of terms (4n) that will allow the initial (+4,
or whatever in part 2) value to be true for n=1,2,3,4,etc.

Write the terms of the following sequence

I wrote a program to solve the first part quickly enough.

Write the terms of the following sequence

I wrote a program to make it go more quickly. Its separated into numerator and
denominator values.
As it progresses, it gets closer and closer to zero while jumping up and down around
the axis.

Write the terms of the following sequence

If you get this, its basically this format. I didnt even bother trying to figure out why.

Consider the formula for the following sequence. Using a calculator

I wrote a program for this. The numbers dont converge towards anything. They just
grow.

Consider the formula for the following sequence.

I wrote a program for this. You can see for each additional n, it gets closer to 10.

Consider the following sequence.

Wrote a program. It gets closer to 3 with each additional n.

Consider the sequence

Wrote a program. Note separate values for numerator and denominator. Be sure to
combine them. Look at the decimal value for convergence.

Consider the following recurrence relation.

Grows largely.

Consider the following recurrence relation.

I wrote a program and its dogshit, but it should give an idea of what the
convergence number is.

Suppose a ball is thrown upward

Wrote a program.

For the following infinite series

Just follow the pattern. Dont know why it does that.


For the following infinite series

The first part is just each previous value added to each other. The second Im not
really sure.

Consider the following infinite series

Plug in values of k for k=1,2,3,4. The answers are each previous value being added
to the others.
The answer to part two is a fraction that closely resembles the decimal answer.

Consider the following infinite series.

Each section is solved like so: S1=(1/5), S2=(1/5 + 1/25), S3=(1/5 + 1/25 + 1/125),
S4=(1/5 + 1/25 + 1/125 + 1/625).
To solve the last, what fraction does it appear to head towards?

Consider the following infinite series.

Wrote a code.
DATA CALC;
DO K=1 TO 4;
EQ=(-1)**(K+9);
SUM+EQ;
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;

PROC PRINT DATA=CALC;

When a biologist begins a study

Take each number beginning with 230 and multiply it by the growth rate (.03).
Whatever that number is, first round it to a whole number, insert it into the box, and
repeat the process.
Copy the format and make adjustments to the rest as needed.

Consider the following situation

I wrote a program. SUM1 is the first value and DIFF2-5 are the rest.
DATA CALC;
N=30;
DO i=1 TO 5;
N=N*.5;
SUM+N;
DIFF=SUM-LAG1(SUM);
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;

Consider the following infinite series.

I wrote a program.
DATA CALC;
DO N=1 TO 4;
EQ=((4)/((2*N-1)*(2*N+1)));
ANSWER+EQ;
IF ANSWER=. THEN ANSWER=EQ;
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;

Consider the following infinite series.

Plug in values of k=1,2,3,4. To get each answer, add the values of the new k to the
previous k. Example: f(k2)+f(k1), f(k3)+f(k2), etc.
Part B: Follow the format.
Part C: Seems to be whatever the numerator is over 2.
You can use the program to see if its close.
DATA CALC;
DO N=1 TO 100;
EQ=((17)/((4*N**(2)-1)));
ANSWER+EQ;
IF ANSWER=. THEN ANSWER=EQ;
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;

Suppose a ball is thrown upward to a height

First, find H0-H3.


H0 is given as 18. H1=18*0.4=7.2, H2=7.2*0.4=2.88, H3=2.88*0.4=1.152
Once the H values have been found, plug them in like so:
S1=2(H0)=36
S2=2(H0)+2(H1)=50.4
S3=2(H0)+2(H1)+2(H2)=56.16
S4=2(H0)+2(H1)+2(H2)+2(H3)=58.464
It appears its getting closer and closer to 60.
