Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Find the general term!!!
hi bobbym,
Glad you've picked up on this thread.
If you get time have a look at posts 30 to 45. Did we get this sorted?

Re: Find the general term!!!
Hi Bob;
I see lots of gAr and you in here and that means I can do something else.
My friend poses 100 problems a second and rarely stops to look around. gAr is correct about the continued radical solving #2.
Which one got away from gAr and you?

hi Bobbym
post 30
with
Stefy wanted the general term.
gAr and I could give him the convergence, but don't think there will be a simple formula.
What do you think?

Hi Bob;
There is nothing simple that I can find.
Except an error analysis produces this which is an asymptotic answer

hi bobbym,
Well that's quite a good result. I'm happy with that.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Find the general term!!!
That is kind of easy to reason about. You need to think about that yourself. If you do not get it then you need some work in algebra, which is even more fundamental than calculus.
Post #81 shows the power of the new experimental mathematics.

Yes I saw #81.Nice work on that.
I will se why #5 is impossible.

Did you try it out before complimenting me? Could be wrong... How would you convince yourself that it might do what it claims?

Hi bobbym
I checked the first few terms.How did you arrive at that formula? *please don't say CAS,please don't say Cas,...*

Re: Find the general term!!!
Hi;
It is derived easily with some guessing and what I think I know about error analysis. This is not a mathematicians way of working. I told you and have shown you the tools necessary to do this kind of work. I have not yet convinced you over to my way but I have noticed that you are envious of the type of answers gAr is capable of.
When you are convinced we will go further. For now let's look at the empirical evidence.
Supposing you wanted to know as close as possible what the 200th term in your recurrence was.
Using the formula we get
The exact answer to 100 digits is:
Pretty good!

#6)Find the generating function of the sequence:
and from the generating function deduce the general term.

Re: Find the general term!!!
It is possible to derive the GF. But that is not necessary here. There is a much better and shorter way.

Which other thread? There are so many of them!
You could get the generating function by forming a recurrence formula for the series and then finding the GF from there.
