So the \"last\" sequence is the one in which 2n+2 is equal to 100. \n" ); document.write( "2n+2 = 100 \n" ); document.write( "2n = 98 \n" ); document.write( "n = 49 \n" ); document.write( "The \"first\" sequence is clearly the one in which n is 0. \n" ); document.write( "So the sequences that satisfy the conditions of the problem are those where n is from 0 to 49, inclusive, which means 50 such sequences. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 50 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
