19. X(20)-X(19)=2X(19)-1-X(19)=X(19)-1 X(n+1)=2X(n)-1 =2[X(n-1)-1]-1 =....... = X1*2^n-2^(n-1) so X(19)=X1*....... but the answer is quite weird..
22...I guess all the number in the set should be positive integer, otherwise we can not get a specifit a1... suppose a1, a2, a3, 7, 5 then a3 must be 5*2-7=3 OR -2, since the number should be positive..a3=3 then suppose a3=3, a2 must be 4 or 11 suppose a3=3 a2=4 a1 must be 2 or -1, but since the number should be positive a1=2 suppose a3=3 a2=11, a1 must be -14 or -5, both of which are not the number we gonna get.. so the final answer is a1=2
