: Let a1, a2, a3, . . . be the sequence of integers defined by a1 = 1 and defined for n ≥ 2 by the recurrence relation an = 3an−1 + 1. Using the Principle of Mathematical Induction, prove for all integers n ≥ 1 that an = (3 n − 1) /2 .
all three questions please. thank you Prove that for all n N, O <In < 1. Prove by induction that for all n EN, ER EQ. Prove that in} is convergent and find its limit l. The goal of this exercise is to prove that [0, 1] nQ is not closed. Let In} be a recursive sequence defined by In+1 = -) for n > 1, and x = 1. Prove that for all ne N, 0 <In < 1....

3. (12 points) Consider the following sum: n Sn = {(i + 1)(i +2) i=0 (a) Use properties of summations to find a closed form expression for Sn. Simplify your answer into a polynomial with rational coefficients. Show your work, and clearly indicate your final answer. (b) Use weak induction to prove that your closed form works for every integer n > 0. Make sure you include all three parts, and label them appropriately!
