Question 1: Consider a sequence defined by the initial condition ao = 5, and the recurrence a; 2a-1 + 3 if i ≥ 1. (a) Compute the terms a₁, a2, a3, 94, 95, and a6. (b) Search for the seven terms (including ao) in The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences which can be found at oeis.org. There should be 6 results, and one of them involves our recurrence. Use the result to find an explicit formula for ai. Note: You will have to modify the formula from oeis. org, because our ao is their az.
