g is defined recursively by g(1)=2 and g(n)=2g(n-1) where n is greater than/equal to 2...solve for g(4)
that is g(n)=2g(n-1)
i think i am stuck on where to plug in what....
i know that a series/sequence defined recursively is g(n)=g(n+1)=(n+1)g(n)
so if g(1)=2 then for the g(n)=2g(n-1) for...

what is the value of [x]+[-x] where x is a real number?
is this as simple as just plugging in real numbers for x? if so, let's say x=1 then we have [1]+[-1] would be 0 so the value for all real numbers in this particular summation would always be...
