Answer to Question #276752 in Discrete Mathematics for ddd

Question

Consider the sequence (wn) defined recursively by

w2 = 3

wn = (wn-1  (1 - 0.02)) - 2(n + 1)/ n2 for n >= 3. 

Write a MATLAB program to compute wn for n = 2, 3, 4, . . . , 10 and display the values n

and wn in two columns with appropriate headings. The program should also compute

and display the sum å10∑10\sum 10

∑10 i=2 wi
