It is greater than 5/7. 5/7<1, and sqrt(5)>2
A recursive definition for the sequence shown above can be x = n-5.
21 - 5 = 16
16 - 5 = 11
11 - 5 = 6
and so on...
The number sequence has a difference of 5 in each of the values before and after them.
You can start by subtracting different equations from each other.
3x + 2y + 3z = 1
subtract
3x + 2y + z = 7
2z = -6
divide by 2
z = -3
add the following two expressions together:
3x + 2y + z = 7
3x + 2y + 3z =1
6x + 4y + 4z = 8
subtract the following two expressions:
6x + 4y + 4z = 8
5x + 5y + 4z = 3
x - y = 5
^multiply the whole equation above by 3
3x - 3y = 15
subtract the following two expressions:
3x - 3y = 15
3x + 2y = 10
-5y = 5
divide each side by -5
y=-1
take the following expression from earlier:
x - y = 5
substitute y value into above equation
x - - 1 = 5
2 negatives make a positive
x + 1 = 5
subtract 1 from each side
x = 4
Therefore x = 4, y = -1, z = -3
I checked these with all 3 equations and they worked :)
(it's quite complicated, comment if you don't understand anything) :)
