AMC 12 2019a Problem 9

  • Paper

A sequence of numbers is defined recursively by a1=1a_1 = 1, a2=37a_2 = \frac{3}{7}, and an=an−2⋅an−12an−2−an−1a_n=\frac{a_{n-2} \cdot a_{n-1}}{2a_{n-2} - a_{n-1}}for all n≥3n \geq 3. Then a2019a_{2019} can be written as pq\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. What is p+q?p+q ?
