Math Problem Statement

Solve sequences and recurrence relations, including geometric and arithmetic sequences, involving terms and formulas such as a_n = (n-1)/(n+2), b_n = 3^(n+1), c_n = (1/2)^(n-1), and analyze recurrence relations like a_(n+1) = a_n + (-1)^n or a_(n+1) = -1/a_n.

Solution

This image contains handwritten math problems written in Persian, which primarily focus on sequences and series. Let’s break down the key content:


1. First Problem

The first problem defines sequences:

  • an=n1n+2a_n = \frac{n - 1}{n + 2}
  • bn=3n+1b_n = 3^{n+1}
  • cn=(12)n1c_n = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}

The task seems to require evaluating or analyzing these sequences.


2. Second Problem

You are given the recurrence relation:
an+1=an+(1)nwitha1=1.a_{n+1} = a_n + (-1)^n \quad \text{with} \quad a_1 = 1.
The problem asks to write the first few terms of this sequence.


3. Third Problem

Evaluate the following mathematical expressions: 14and125.\frac{1}{4} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{25}.


4. Fourth Problem

The task involves determining a relation or formula for sequences involving specific terms like 1,2,3,,9,271, 2, 3, \dots, 9, 27, and possibly finding a pattern.


5. Fifth Problem

You are asked to analyze the recurrence relation: a1=2,an+1=1an.a_1 = 2, \quad a_{n+1} = -\frac{1}{a_n}.
The goal is to compute the terms or behavior of the sequence.
