Thread: linear recureence sequences

(c) Consider the linear recurrence sequence

x

1 =23,xn+1 =1.3xn − 12

(

n =1,2,3,...).

(i)

Find a closed form for the sequence.

[

(ii) Use the closed form to find the eighth term of the sequence,

correct to four significant figures.

[

(iii) Describe the long-term behaviour of the sequence.

You should find that





You alright for number two and I guess that by computing some value you can do number 3 alone.
