Chapter 5, Problem 21T
Choose any term after the first in the sequence described in Exercise 20. Square it. Multiply the two terms on either side of it. Subtract the smaller result from the larger. Now repeat the process with a different term. Make a conjecture about what this process will yield for any term of the sequence.
