\[ a _{1} = 6, a _{n} = 2 • a _{n}-1\]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

should that say \[a_{n+1} = 2a_n-1\]?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

because the way you have it defined does not makes sense @aga3t

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

a_n = 2a_n-1 0=a_n-1 a_n = 1 is a contradiction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a=6,a _{n}=2∙a _{n-1}\] is what I meant

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\[a_1 = 6\\a_2=2*a_1=2(6) = 12\\a_2=12\\a_3=2*a_2=2(12)=24\\a_4=2*a_3=......\]
