If someone can just show me where to start I think I can get it.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

whats the value of a1?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[a_0=1\] \[a_{0+1}=2a_0+2\] \[a_{1+1}=2a_1+2\] \[a_{2+1}=2a_2+2\]

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

So A1 = 4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

use that to find a2

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

A2=10?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2(4) + 2 = 10, yes use that to find a3

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

A3=22?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct, a recurrsion equation is one that you have to step thru multiple times to reach your destination
