Suppose a1, a2, a3,... is a sequence defined as follows: a1 = 1, a2 = 3, ak = ak2 + 2ak1

Chapter 5, Problem 1

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose \(a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}\), . . . is a sequence defined as follows:

\(a_{1} = 1, a_{2} = 3,\)

\(a_{k} = a_{k−2} + 2a_{k−1}\) for all integers k ≥ 3.

Prove that an is odd for all integers n ≥ 1.

Text Transcription:

a_1, a_2, a_3

a_1 = 1, a_2 = 3

a_k = a_k−2 + 2a_k−1
