OK, I got past the first section, although it appears that the next-to-last item is not solvable:

T(n) = 3T(n)+(n+1)-3
F(n) = (n+1)n
T(0) = 1
T(n)==F(n) when n ≥ 0 ?

Why isn't this one solvable? O.o''

If G(x)=2G(x)-1, what's the value of the G function? :)

I hope that this helped... I don't know whether I can be more specific without telling you how to solve the equation ^^

Looks like an infinite recursion to me.

I solved the puzzle; I just didn't see how that one equation worked.

Thanks monnino for the explanation.

Good to remember basic algebra skills, instead of thinking in computer programs all the time.

About the second part :
how many decimals should we use ?

Or am I going in a wrong direction ? :?

Mmm, if you get either a, b or c with decimals you did some errors when calculating their values.

Just recheck the operations you made and you'll find the error :)

Or try to find a simpler method to get the values you need ^^

Hi, as it noticed up there is an error on this one:
T(n) = 3T(n-1)+(n+1)-3
obviously.
