A sequence a1, a2, a3,... is defined by letting a1 = 3 and ak = 7ak1 for all integers k

Chapter 5, Problem 24

(choose chapter or problem)

A sequence \(a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}\), . . . is defined by letting \(a_{1} = 3\) and \(a_{k} = 7a_{k}−1\) for all integers k ≥ 2. Show that \(an = 3 \cdot 7^{n−1}\) for all integers n ≥ 1.

Text Transcription:

a_1, a_2, a_3

a_1 = 3

a_k = 7a_k-1

a_n = 3 cdot 7^n-1
