Sequences and Their Notations · Exercise 61

Follow these steps to evaluate a sequence defined recursively using a graphing calculator:

• On the home screen, key in the value for the initial term $a_{1}$ and press [ENTER].
• Enter the recursive formula by keying in all numerical values given in the formula, along with the key strokes [2ND] ANS for the previous term $a_{n - 1} .$ Press [ENTER].
• Continue pressing [ENTER] to calculate the values for each successive term.

Use the steps above to find the indicated term or terms for the sequence.

Find the first five terms of the sequence $a_{1} = \frac{87}{111}$ , $a_{n} = \frac{4}{3} a_{n - 1} + \frac{12}{37} .$ Use the >Frac feature to give fractional results.
