Answer to Problem 55E

  a1=5a2=19a3=61

  a4=187a5=565

The given sequence is neither an arithmetic sequence nor a geometric sequence.

Explanation of Solution

Concept Used:

In Arithmetic sequence difference between each pair of consecutive terms is same.

In Geometric sequence the ratio between each pair of consecutive terms is same.

The first 5 terms of the given sequence are found by substituting n=2,3,4,5 in the formula an=3an1+4 :

  a1=5

  a2=3a21+4=3(5)+4=15+4=19

  a3=3a2+4=3(19)+4=57+4=61

  a4=3a3+4=3(61)+4=183+4=187

  a5=3a4+4=3(187)+4=561+4=565

First find the difference between each pair of consecutive terms:

  195=146119=4218761=126565187=378

Now, find the ratio between each pair of consecutive terms:

  195=1956119=611918761=18761565187=565187

There is neither a common difference nor a common ratio between the terms.

So, the sequence is neither an arithmetic sequence nor a geometric sequence.
