1 answer:

larisa86 [58]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 2 is irrational. This has been proven by the Pythagoreans (there is a simple proof of that).

pi is also known to be irrational although the proof is a bit more demanding.

Square root of 10 can be written as a product of square root of 5 and square root of 2, which themselves are irrational. Any product involving an irrational number is irrational

Square root of 16 = 4. 4 can be written as a fraction 4/1, or 8/2, 16/4, etc. and therefore is rational by definition.

Let {an} be a sequence that satisfies the recurrence relation an = an-1 + 3 for n = 1, 2, 3, ... , and suppose that a0 = 2. What

Arturiano [62]

Given:

$a_n=a_{n-1}+3$

$a_0=2$

To find:

The values $a_1,a_2,a_3$ .

Solution:

We have,

$a_n=a_{n-1}+3$

For $n=1$ ,

$a_1=a_{1-1}+3$

$a_1=a_{0}+3$

$a_1=2+3$

$a_1=5$

For $n=2$ ,

$a_2=a_{2-1}+3$

$a_2=a_{1}+3$

$a_2=5+3$

$a_2=8$

For $n=3$ ,

$a_3=a_{3-1}+3$

$a_3=a_{2}+3$

$a_3=8+3$

$a_3=11$

Therefore, $a_1=5,a_2=8,a_3=11$ .
