The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will analyze the sequences defined by the functions provided and determine the possible values of \( P_n \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define the Sequence \( P_n \)**: The recursive formula given is: \[ P_{n+1} = P_n - P_{n-1} \] with initial conditions: \[ P_0 = 0, \quad P_1 = 1 \] 2. **Calculate the Terms of the Sequence**: - **Calculate \( P_2 \)**: \[ P_2 = P_1 - P_0 = 1 - 0 = 1 \] - **Calculate \( P_3 \)**: \[ P_3 = P_2 - P_1 = 1 - 1 = 0 \] - **Calculate \( P_4 \)**: \[ P_4 = P_3 - P_2 = 0 - 1 = -1 \] - **Calculate \( P_5 \)**: \[ P_5 = P_4 - P_3 = -1 - 0 = -1 \] - **Calculate \( P_6 \)**: \[ P_6 = P_5 - P_4 = -1 - (-1) = 0 \] - **Calculate \( P_7 \)**: \[ P_7 = P_6 - P_5 = 0 - (-1) = 1 \] - **Calculate \( P_8 \)**: \[ P_8 = P_7 - P_6 = 1 - 0 = 1 \] - **Calculate \( P_9 \)**: \[ P_9 = P_8 - P_7 = 1 - 1 = 0 \] 3. **Observe the Pattern**: The calculated terms of the sequence \( P_n \) are: \[ P_0 = 0, \quad P_1 = 1, \quad P_2 = 1, \quad P_3 = 0, \quad P_4 = -1, \quad P_5 = -1, \quad P_6 = 0, \quad P_7 = 1, \quad P_8 = 1, \quad P_9 = 0 \] The values oscillate between 1, 0, and negative values. Notably, the sequence does not yield any positive values beyond \( P_1 \). 4. **Conclusion**: From the calculations, we see that \( P_n \) can take the values 1, 0, and negative integers, but it never reaches 4. Therefore, the value of \( P \) cannot be 4. ### Final Answer: The value of \( P \) cannot be: **4**.
