liars_paradox Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) You have the following series 354, 180, 64, 21, 10.2, 8.7 Would anyone know what is causing the series to turn out like this? Like if the first couple of memebers in the number series can represented as the following: [math]{a}_{0} = 354[/math] [math]{a}_{1} = 180[/math] Is there some sort of recursive relationship that would allow one to find the value for [math]{a}_{i}[/math]?

Shadow Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I was suspicious with your "Summation problem" post and this time I'll ask; is this homework? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) One of the infinite possible answers: [math]a_x = {\frac {737}{1200}}\,{x}^{5}-{\frac {127}{15}}\,{x}^{4}+{\frac {9107}{ 240}}\,{x}^{3}-{\frac {2087}{60}}\,{x}^{2}-{\frac {16931}{100}}\,x+354 [/math] Edited January 26, 2011 by the tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
