Question 22
Consider the sequence of numbers $$a_1, a_2, a_3$$....... to infinity where $$a_1 = 81.33$$ and $$a_2 = -19$$ and $$a_j = a_{j-1} - a_{j-2}$$ for $$j\ge3$$. What is the sum of the first 6002 terms of this sequence?
Solution
According to given conditions the terms are 81.33, -19, -100.33, -81.33, 19, 100.33, 81.33,-19,.. Hence the series repeats after every 6 terms . Also summation of these 6 terms is 0. Hence summation is 60002 terms will we sum of first 2 terms which is 62.33.
