A sequence of numbers is formed by the iterative process X,+1 = (X,Y- x,
a) Describe the sequence of numbers when
Show working to justify your answer.
X, = 1
The sequence starts at -1 as x1 and then x2,x3,x4.. are all 0
x1 = 1
x2 = (1) - 1= 0
x3 = (0) - 1 = 0
b) Describe the sequence of numbers when x, = -1
Show working to justify your answer.
The sequence starts at -1 as x1 and then x2,x3,x4..... are all 2
x1 = -1
x2 = (-1) - -1 = 2
x3 = (2) - 2 = 2
c) Work out the value of x, when
X, 1-/2
x2 =1
