Transcribed Image Text:**Assignment Due: 11/18/21**
**Part (a):**
- Given initial sequence terms:
- \( a_1 = 1 \)
- \( a_2 = \frac{1}{2} \)
- Find \( a_3 = 2 \)
- Verify: \( a_3 = 27 \) is incorrect.
**Part (b):**
- Given:
- \( a_4 = \frac{3}{2} \)
- Verify: \( a_4 = 32 \) is incorrect.
**Part (c):**
- Task:
- Find the first 6 terms of the sequence.
- Use the recursion formula:
- \( a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} \) for \( n \geq 3 \)
- Initial conditions:
- \( a_1 = 1 \)
- \( a_2 = 1 \)
