We are going to explore the intriguing Pell numbers. In mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers that follows a simple yet fascinating rule: each number is the sum of twice the previous number, plus the Pell number before that. This means that the sequence starts with 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is generated by this formula:
P(n)=2×P(n−1)+P(n−2)
For example, the first few terms of the Pell sequence look like this:
Your challenge is to find the first 30 numbers in this sequence.
Ready to see how the numbers grow? It is a fun and rewarding journey, and you will quickly discover how this simple formula creates such a unique pattern.
Good luck!
