-3/4, -7/10, 3/4, 8/10 is least to greatest
It is positive and increasing
You can try to show this by induction:
• According to the given closed form, we have
, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.
• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

and

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

From the given recurrence, we know

so that






which is what we needed. QED
Answer:
The total is 97/100
Step-by-step explanation:
47/100+3/100=50/100 (aka 1/2)
50/100+47/100=97/100
