43. $a_k = \dfrac{a_{k - 1}}{2a_{k - 1} - 1}$, for each integer $k \geq 1$
$a_0 = 2$.
a.
$$ a_0 = 2 $$
$$ a_1 = \frac{a_0}{2a_0 - 1} = \frac{2}{2(2) - 1} = \frac{2}{3} $$
$$ a_2 = \frac{a_1}{2a_1 - 1} = \frac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{2\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right) - 1} = \frac{2}{4 - 3} = 2 $$
$$ a_3 = \frac{a_2}{2a_2 - 1} = \frac{2}{2(2) - 1} = \frac{2}{3} $$
Guess:
$$
a_n =
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } n \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{2}{3} & n \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}

Let $a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots$ be the sequence defined recursively by $a_0 = 2$ and
$a_k = \dfrac{a_{k - 1}}{2a_{k - 1} - 1}$ for each integer $k \geq 1$.
Let the property $P(n)$ be the equation:
$$
a_n =
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } n \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } n \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
**Proof by strong mathematical induction:**
_Basis Step:_
Prove $P(0)$ and $P(1)$, that is:
$$
a_0 =
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } 0 \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } 0 \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
and:
$$
a_1 =
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } 1 \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } 1 \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
$P(0)$ is true since the piecewise function tells us that $a_0 = 2$ since $0$ is
even and this matches the given value of $a_0 = 2$.
$P(1)$ is true given the evaluation of $a_1$ in part (a).
Therefore both $P(0)$ and $P(1)$ are true.
_Inductive Step:_
Let $k$ be any integer such that $k \geq 0$. Let $i$ be some integer such that
$0 \leq i \leq k$.
Suppose $P(i)$, that is:
$$
a_i =
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } i \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } i \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
This is the inductive hypothesis.
Prove $P(k + 1)$, that is:
$$
a_{k + 1} =
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } k + 1 \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } k + 1 \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
By the definition of the sequence:
$$ a_k = \dfrac{a_{k - 1}}{2a_{k - 1} - 1} $$
It follows that:
$$ a_{k + 1} = \dfrac{a_k}{2a_k - 1} $$
By the inductive hypothesis:
$$
a_{k + 1} =
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{2}{2(2) - 1} & \text{if } k \text{ is even} \\
\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{2\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right) - 1} & \text{if } k \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
$$
= \\
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } k \text{ is even} \\
2 & \text{if } k \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
It follows that:
$$
= \\
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{2}{3} & \text{if } k + 1 \text{ is odd} \\
2 & \text{if } k + 1 \text{ is even}
\end{cases}
$$
This is what was to be shown. Therefore $P(k + 1)$ is true.

44. $b_k = \dfrac{2}{b_{k - 1}}$, for each integer $k \geq 2$ $b_1 = 1$.
a.
$$ b_1 = 1 $$
$$ b_2 = \frac{2}{b_1} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 $$
$$ b_3 = \frac{2}{b_2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 $$
Guess:
$$
b_n =
\begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } n \text{ is odd} \\
2 & \text{if } n \text{ is even}

$$
b.
Let $b_1, b_2, b_3, \dots$ be the sequence defined recursively by $b_1 = 1$ and
$b_k = \dfrac{2}{b_{k - 1}}$ for each integer $k \geq 2$.
**Proof by strong mathematical induction:**
Let the property $P(n)$ be the equation:
$$
b_n =
\begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } n \text{ is odd} \\
2 & \text{if } n \text{ is even}
\end{cases}
$$
_Basis Step:_
Prove $P(1)$ and $P(2)$.
Both $P(1)$ and $P(2)$ are proven true in part (a).
_Inductive Step:_
Let $k$ be any integer such that $k \geq 2$, and let $i$ be some integer such
that $1 \leq i \leq k$.
Suppose $P(i)$, that is:
$$
b_i =
\begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } i \text{ is odd} \\
2 & \text{if } i \text{ is even}

$$
This is the inductive hypothesis.
Prove $P(k + 1)$, that is:

b_{k + 1} =
\begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } k + 1 \text{ is odd} \\
2 & \text{if } k + 1 \text{ is even}
\end{cases}
$$
By the definition of the given sequence:
$$ b_k = \dfrac{2}{b_{k - 1}} $$
It follows that:
$$ b_{k + 1} = \dfrac{2}{b_k} $$
By the inductive hypothesis:
$$
b_{k + 1} =
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{2}{1} & \text{if } k \text{ is odd} \\
\dfrac{2}{2} & \text{if } k \text{ is even}

This is what was to be shown. Therefore $P(k + 1)$ is true.
Q.E.D.
45. $v_k = v_{\lfloor \dfrac{k}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \dfrac{(k + 1)}{2}\rfloor} + 2$,
for each integer $k \geq 2$ $v_1 = 1$.
a.
$$ v_1 = 1 $$
$$ v_2 = v_{\lfloor \dfrac{2}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \dfrac{(2 + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + 2 $$
$$ = v_1 + v_1 + 2 = 1 + 1 + 2 $$
$$ v_3 = v_{\lfloor \dfrac{3}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \dfrac{(3 + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + 2 $$
$$ = v_1 + v_2 + 2 = 1 + (1 + 1 + 2) + 2 $$
$$ = 3 + 2 \cdot 2 $$
$$ v_4 = v_{\lfloor \dfrac{4}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \dfrac{(4 + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + 2 $$
$$ = v_2 + v_2 + 2 = (1 + 1 + 2) + (1 + 1 + 2) + 2 $$
$$ = 4 + 3 \cdot 2 $$
$$ v_5 = v_{\lfloor \dfrac{5}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \dfrac{(5 + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + 2 $$
$$ = v_2 + v_3 + 2 = (1 + 1 + 2) + (3 + 2 \cdot 2) + 2 $$
$$ = 5 + 4 \cdot 2 $$
Guess:
$$ v_n = n + 2(n - 1) = n + 2n - 2 $$
$$ = 3n - 2 $$
b.
Let $v_1, v_2, v_3, \dots$ be the sequence defined recursively by $v_1 = 1$ and
$v_k = v_{\lfloor \frac{k}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \frac{(k + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + 2$
for each integer $k \geq 2$.
**Proof by strong mathematical induction:**
Let the property $P(n)$ be the equation $v_n = 3n - 2$.
_Basis Step:_
Prove $P(1)$, that is:
$$ v_1 = 3(1) - 2 $$
$$ = 3 - 2 $$
$$ = 1 $$
This equality matches the given value of $v_1 = 1$. Therefore $P(1)$ is true.
_Inductive Step:_
Let $k$ be any integer such that $k \geq 2$, and let $i$ be some integer such
that $1 \leq i \leq k$.
Suppose $P(i)$, that is:
$$ v_i = 3i - 2 $$
This is the inductive hypothesis.
Prove $P(k + 1)$, that is:
$$ v_{k + 1} = 3(k + 1) - 2 $$
Alternatively:
$$ v_{k + 1} = 3k + 1 $$
By the definition of the given sequence:
$$ v_k = v_{\lfloor \frac{k}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \frac{(k + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + 2 $$
It follows that:
$$ v_{k + 1} = v_{\lfloor \frac{(k + 1)}{2} \rfloor} + v_{\lfloor \frac{(k + 2)}{2} \rfloor} + 2 $$
By the inductive hypothesis:
$$ = \left(3\lfloor \frac{k + 1}{2} \rfloor - 2\right) + \left(3\lfloor \frac{k + 2}{2}\rfloor - 2\right) + 2 $$
$$ = 3\left(\lfloor \frac{k + 1}{2} \rfloor + \lfloor \frac{k + 2}{2} \rfloor \right) - 2 $$
$$
= \\
\begin{cases}
3\left(\frac{k}{2} + \frac{k + 2}{2}\right) - 2 & \text{if } k \text{ is even} \\
3\left(\frac{k + 1}{2} + \frac{k + 1}{2}\right) - 2 & \text{if } k \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}
$$
$$ = 3\left(\frac{2k + 2}{2}\right) - 2 $$
$$ = 3(k + 1) - 2 $$
$$ = 3k + 3 - 2 $$
$$ = 3k + 1 $$
This is what was to be shown. Therefore $P(k + 1)$ is true.
