Calc Help- QUESTION C&D
Potential Path 2 This path is more succint, but demands very precise language. The first path is more formulaic. (a) Find an explicit formula R(n) for the rightmost odd number on the left hand side of the nth row above. For example, R(2) should yield 5, R(3) should be 11, and so on. Justify this formula - you must be able to prove this works always, not just for the first few. (b) Now find a formula L(n) for the left most odd number in the nth row above. (So L(2) = 3, L(3) = 7). Justify this formula as well. (c) How many odd numbers are on the left hand side in the nth row above? (d) Using the previous three steps and the fact that each row has an even distribution to make an argument for what the value of an should be. This needs to be formally justified.
