Hi,

This is the same situation as a sequence case.

You have two informations :

\left \{ {{f(1)=5} \atop {f(n)=4f(n-1)-2}} \right.

You need to solve this rank by rank for n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

We already have f(n) for n = 1 : it is f(1) = 5.

n = 2 :

f(2) = 4 * f(2-1) - 2 = 4 * f(1) - 2 = 4 * 5 - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18 because f(1) = 5

n=3 :

f(3) = 4 * f(3-1) -2 = 4 * f(2) -2 = 4 * 18 -2 = 72 - 2 = 70

n = 4 :

f(4) = 4 * f(4-1) -2 = 4* f(3) - 2 = 4* 70 - 2 = 280 - 2 = 278

n = 5 :

f(5) = 4 * f(5-1) - 2 = 4*f(4) - 2 = 4 * 278 - 2 = 1112 - 2 = 1110

so f(5) = 1110

Good Luck

After adding an 8-pound box with 6 identical boxes, the crate weighed 72 boxes
damaskus [11]

After adding 8 students to each of 6 same-sized teams, there were 72 students altogether.

After adding an 8-pound box of tennis rackets to a crate with 6 identical boxes of ping pong paddles, the crate weighed 72 pounds.

The first situation has all equal parts, since additions are made to each team. An equation that represents this situation is 6( x + 8 ) = 72, where x represents the original number of students on each team. Eight students were added to each group, there are 6 groups, and there are a total of 72 students.

In the second situation, there are 6 equal parts added to one other part. An equation that represents this situation is 6x + 8 = 72, where x represents the weight of a box of ping pong paddles, there are 6 boxes of ping pong paddles, there is an additional box that weighs 8 pounds, and the crate weighs 72 pounds altogether.

In the first situation, there were 6 equal groups, and 8 students added to each group. 6( x + 8 ) = 72.

In the second situation, there were 6 equal groups, but 8 more pounds in addition to that. 6x + 8 = 72.

The 21st, 37th and 56th term of an A.P. are consecutive terms of a G.P. Find the common ratio of the G.P.​
mash [69]

just use what you know about this stuff

(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)

(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)

a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2

3ad = 196d^2

3a = 196d

That is, for any value of n,

a=196n

d=3n

So, there is no unique solution.

If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are

196+20*3 = 256

196+36*3 = 304

196+55*3 = 361

304/256 = 361/304

You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.
