(b) Use strong induction to prove an ≤ 3n−2 for any integer n ≥ 3. Clearly indicate what is the base step and inductive step, and indicate what is the inductive hypothesis in your proof.
: 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 .

3. A sequence is a map a N°R, typically written (an) = (ao, a1, a2, a3, a4,) As an example, the sequence (an) = 1/(n2 +1) begins (1, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/17,..) Here is a useful fact relating sequences and continuity: A function f(x) is continuous at x c if and only if for every sequence (an) that converges to c, written anc, then f(x,) f(c). Alternatively, if you and f(yn)L" with L' L", then f is not continuous at...
