Mathematics

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recursive formula a_{n} = \frac{a_{n-1} }{4} and

a_{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}, then

\frac{a_{3} }{4} = \frac{9}{4} ( multiply both sides by 4 )

a₃ = 4 × \frac{9}{4} = 9

\frac{a_{2} }{4} = 9 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

a₂ = 36

\frac{a_{1} }{4} = 36 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

a₁ = 144

The first 4 terms are

144, 36, 9, 2 \frac{1}{4}

James has noticed that the number of new tree branches that have grown on a tree in his backyard each year follows the sequence
eduard

Notice that the pattern is "previous term plus 2".  This is an arithmetic sequence where the difference (d) equals +2

a_{n} = a₁ + d(n - 1)   ; where a₁ is the first term, d is the difference, and n is the term.

f(n) = 1 + 2(n - 1)

f(n) = 1 + 2n - 2

f(n) = 2n - 1

********************************

f(10) = 2(10) - 1

f(10) = 20 - 1

f(10) = 19
