Question 2.
The following function is defined for integer n:
f (n) f (n 1) f (n 2) n
i) By replacing n with n-1 in the recursion above, find a recursive formula for f(n) in
terms of f(n-3) and n. (2 marks)
answer:
ii) Given that f(1)=f(2)=1, explain whether you can find the exact value of f(2021) ?
If so, find the value; if not, explain your reasons carefully. (3 marks)

(iv) Give a simple formula in terms of m for the value of g(n, m) for all integers n and
m, where m is negative, and explain why this formula is correct. (5 marks)
(v) Give a simple formula in terms of n for the value of g(n,k) for all integers n and k,
where k is positive. And explain why this formula is correct. (5 marks)
Question 3.
Broken Bar: A bar is broken in two places, chosen uniformly and independently along
its length. What is the probability that the 3 pieces can be used to make a triangle?
(i) Assuming y>x, list the length of the three pieces. (1 marks)
(ii) What are the inequalities they should satisfy? (hint: what does the sum of
two sides of a triangle need to satisfy?) (3 marks)
(iii) Draw the diagram and shade the region specified by the above inequalities.
(4 marks)
(iv) Now consider the case when x>y, and draw it on the same diagram. (3
marks)
(v) Hence find the probability that the 3 pieces can be used to make a triangle.
