3. Write a recursive formula for the following sequence: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127,…

4. A pile of logs is built up by laying 20 logs side and then piling succeeding rows on top so that each row has
less than the one below it. If this pile tapers to a single log in the top row, how many logs are there in the
pile?
