1 , 2 , 4 , 7 , 12 , , a 10 = ? , 1,2,4,7,12,\dots,\boxed{a_{10}=?},\dots The above sequence has Fibonacci-type behavior such that; a 1 = 1 , a 2 = 2 a n d a n = a n 1 + a n 2 + 1 w h e r e n 3 a_1=1,a_2=2\, and \, a_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}+1 \, where \, n \ge 3 Hence we have the sequence as:

  • a 1 = 1 a_{1}=1

  • a 2 = 2 a_{2}=2

  • a 3 = 4 a_{3}=4

  • a 4 = 7 a_{4}=7

  • a 5 = 12 a_{5}=12

  • a 6 = 20 a_{6}=20

  • a 7 = 33 a_{7}=33

  • a 8 = 54 a_{8}=54

  • a 9 = 88 a_{9}=88

  • a 10 = 143 a_{10}=\boxed{143}

Hence a 10 1 = 142 \boxed{a_{10}-1=142} :)
