If F(1) = 2 and F(n) = F(n-1) + 1/2 for all integers n > 1, then F(101) = ?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
F(101) = F(101-1) + 1/2 = 100 1/2
I know I'm missing something huge here because the answer in the book was 51. :-/ Thanks for your help.
"F(101)" refers to the function that needs to be solved for the input value of 101. In other words, you need to find the output of the function when the input is 101.
To solve a function question, you need to follow the general steps of inputting the given value into the function, simplifying the expression, and finding the output value. It may also involve using mathematical operations and rules specific to the given function.
It depends on the complexity of the function and the requirements of the question. In some cases, you may be allowed to use a calculator while in others, you may need to show your work and solve it manually.
Some tips for solving function questions include paying attention to the given instructions, checking for any restrictions on the input values, and using algebraic techniques to simplify the expression.
Yes, it is possible to have multiple solutions for a function question, especially if the function is not one-to-one. In this case, the solutions may be in the form of a range of values or multiple distinct solutions.
