The next cube (Posted on 2022-10-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
True story: I was teaching my 11-year old about recursion and this came up... The integer squares, f(n) = n^2 can be generated recursively:
f(1) = 1, f(n) = f(n-1) + 2 n - 1.
So, how does one similarly generate the integer cubes through addition of terms in n?

Bonus 1: How about f(n) via recursion only using previous terms, without using n alone?

Bonus 2: What about for higher powers? Does n^4 have a solution made by adding an integer coefficient cubic in n? How else?

Bonus 3: Is there a general solution to make n^j, for all j using recursion?

How to find a proven casino? Comment 3 of 3 |
This is very easy, because there is a very good option: about 40 cash bells slot. I've been playing there for years and never had any financial problems during that time. It really is the best casino I have ever tried.
