If = − and = , then write the first ten terms of the sequence

.

Find a formula for the term of the sequence

, , , , , … , ….

Solution:

Given = −2 , = for all ∈ . Then the first ten terms of the

sequence are
" ! % ! $ ' & ) !
= −2 , ! = = −1 , $ = =− , & = =− ( = =− ,
! $ $ & ! ( (
( + * - ! , / . 1 !
* = = − , , = =− , . = =− , 0 = 0 =− ,
* $ , , . & 0
0 3
2 = =−

Therefore, the sequence is −2, −1, − , − , − , − , … , ….

Given sequence is , , , , , … , ….

Notice that = , ! = , $ = , & = ,………

! ! ! $ ! & !
⟹ = , ! = , $ = , & = ,………

Therefore, = for all ∈ .
