Math Challenge I-C Spring 2019 Lecture 4

               On the lecture 4 homework problem 4.12, none of the choices seem to be correct. Is it just a typo or am I missing something? 

                                                                                                                                                          Thanks in advance,


                                                                                                                                                          Calvin

One of the things that might be a little different with how we're thinking about sequences in I-C is that we are starting with $a_0$ as the beginning of the sequence. So keeping in mind that we start with $n=0$ should help with the problem.
