To find: The first six terms of the sequence
Answer to Problem 66E
The first 6 terms of the sequence are
The first differences are -4,-6,-8,-10,-12.
The second differences are -2,-2,-2,-2.
The sequence has perfectly quadratic model.
Explanation of Solution
Given sequence:
Calculation:
The first term of the sequence is
The recursive relation for the nth term of the sequence is
By substituting
The first differences of the sequence are
The second differences of the sequence are
Since, the second difference between any two consecutive terms is constant, therefore, the sequence has perfectly quadratic model.s
