Using Euclid's algorithm, the first number you check is their difference:

60 - 48 = 12

Since 12 divides both numbers evenly, that is your GCF.

_____

If the difference does not divide both numbers evenly, you can repeat the procedure with the difference and the remainder from dividing the smallest of the other numbers by the difference. For example, ...

GCF(60, 44) = GCF(44 mod 16, 16) = GCF(12, 16) = 4

A sequence U1, U2,U3...... is defined by the relation Un +1 = 2Un +5. if U1 =2, find U1

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Correct question:

a sequence U1, U2,U3...... is defined by the relation $U_{n +1} = 2U_n +5$ . if U1 =2, find U2 and U3

Answer:

U2 = 9

U3 = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence;

$U_{n +1} = 2U_n +5$

U1 = 2

U2 = ?

$U_{n +1} = 2U_n +5\\\\U_2 = 2(U_1) + 5\\\\U_2 = 2(2) + 5\\\\U_2 = 4 + 5\\\\U_2 = 9$

Solving for U3;

$U_3 = 2(U_2) + 5\\\\U_3 = 2(9) + 5\\\\U_3 = 18 + 5\\\\U_3 = 23$
