The sequence {an} is defined recursively by the equation:
n(n – 1)an
: (п — 1)(п — 2)а,-1 — (п — 3)а,-2»
n > 1, ao = aj = 1
Write a function sum an to compute the sum:
N
A(N) =
-Σα
an
n=0
The funtion should accept a single argument N and return the computed sum up to and including N. Run and display the results of your code for
N = 1,5, 10, 100.
