If f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4, then

f(n - 1) = f(n - 2) + 4

and substituting this into the first equation gives

f(n) = f(n - 2) + 2•4

Similarly,

f(n - 2) = f(n - 3) + 4

so that

f(n) = f(n - 3) + 3•4

and so on.

Note the pattern:

f(n) = f(n - k) + k•4

so that when k = n - 1, we have

f(n) = f(n - (n - 1)) + (n - 1)•4

or

f(n) = f(1) + 4 (n - 1)

so that

[D] f(n) = -2 + 4 (n - 1)

The difference of two numbers is 16 and the sum of their squares is 130. What are the numbers.
Korvikt [17]
x - y = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 130

----------------
x^2 - y^2 = 256
+(x^2 + y^2 = 130)
2x^2 = 386
x^2 = 193
x = <span>13.892 (3DP)
----
</span>x - y = 16
13.892 - y = 16
-y = 2.108
y = -2.108
The numbers are: 13.892 and -2.108
