In each of 21 and 22, a sequence is specified by a recurr ence relation and initial conditions. In each case, (a) use iteration to guess an explicit formula for the sequence; (b) use strong mathematical induction to confirm the corr ectness of the formula you obtained in part (a).

21. a k = a ⌊ k / 2 ⌋ + 2 , for each integer k ≥ 2 a 1 = 1

To determine

(a)

Use iteration to guess an explicit formula for the sequence, ak=a⌊k/2⌋+2 for all integers k≥2,

a1=1 ..

Explanation

Given information:

A sequence is specified by a recurrence relation and initial conditions.

ak=a⌊k/2⌋+2, for all integers k≥2, a1=1

Calculation:

We have ak=a⌊k/2⌋+2, for all integers k≥2, a1=1

Let us determine the first terms of the given recurrence relation:

a1=1=1+2⌊log21⌋

a2=a⌊2/2⌋+2=a1+2=1+2=3=1+2⌊log22⌋

a3=a⌊3/2⌋+2=a1+2=1+2=3=1+2⌊log23⌋

a4=a⌊4/2⌋+2=a2+2=3+2=5=1+2⌊log24⌋

a5=a⌊5/2⌋+2=a2+2=3+2=5=1+2⌊log25⌋

a6=aȰ

To determine

(b)

Use strong mathematical induction to confirm the correctness of the formula we obtain in part (a).
