When writing out the values of a sequence in order to get a foothold on a problem, should you write them horizontally in a line or vertically in a table??

Vertically in a table.

When looking at a recursively defined sequence, what should you consider??

How repetitions might occur.

If $$F(2k) = F(k)$$ and $$F(2k + 1) = F(k)$$ at a minimum, where will $k$ be repeated??

At $2k$ and $2k + 1$.

After you’ve written out the values of a sequence in a table, what should you look for and why??

Patterns; there has to be some sort of simplifying relationship or they wouldn’t ask the question.
