Explanation Given Information: The provided statement is “The terms begin at 9 and monotonically approach 4 ”. Formula used: The general form of difference equation is y n = a y n − 1 + b ( with initial value y 0 ) Where a , b and y 0 are constant numbers. When the graph is monotonic choose a > 0 and for oscillating a < 0 . Also, if the graph is unbounded choose | a | > 1 and if approaches a value then | a | < 1 . To find b , put b 1 − a equals to that value. Calculation: Consider the provided statement that is “The terms begin at 9 and monotonically approach 4 ”. Since, the terms begin at 9 . Suppose the beginning value as y 0 . Thus, y 0 = 9 . Since the graph is monotonically increasing and approaches 4. Thus, a should be a > 0 and | a | < 1 . Now suppose a = 0.5 as the graph is monotonically increasing and also | a | < 1 . As, the graph is monotonically increasing and approaches 4. Find b , so that b 1 − a equals 4. Therefore, put the value of a = 0.5 to find the value of b . b 1 − a = 4 b 1 − 0.5 = 4 b = 4 ( 0.5 ) = 2 Now put the value of a = 0.5 and b = 2 in the general form of difference equation y n = a y n − 1 + b . Therefore, y n = 0.5 y n − 1 + 2 Where y 0 = 9 . Thus, to find the value of y 1 , y 2 , y 3 , y 4 and y 5 . Case 1. For y 1 , put n = 1 and y 0 = 9 in the equation y n = 0.5 y n − 1 + 2 . y n = 0.5 y n − 1 + 2 y 1 = 0.5 y 0 + 2 = 0.5 ( 9 ) + 2 = 6.5 Thus, the value of y 1 = 6.5 . Case 2. For y 2 , put n = 2 and y 1 = 6.5 in the equation y n = 0.5 y n − 1 + 2 . y n = 0.5 y n − 1 + 2 y 2 = 0.5 y 1 + 2 = 0.5 ( 6.5 ) + 2 = 5

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
