two sequences , (u_n ) and (v_n ), for n∈N is defined as:
{ ((u_0 =3)),((u_(n+1) = (1/2)(u_n + v_n ) )) :}and { ((v_0 = 4)),((v_(n+1) = (1/2)(u_(n+1) + v_n ))) :}
a) calculate u_1 ,v_1 ,u_2 and v_2
b) Another sequence (w_n ), is defined by
w_n = v_n − u_n , ∀ n∈N
show that w_n is a convegent geometric sequence.
c) Express w_n as a function of n and obtain its limits.
d) Study the sense of variation(monotony) of (u_n ) and (v_n )
what can you deduce?
e) Consider another sequence t_n defined by
t_n = ((u_n + 2v_n )/3) , ∀ n ∈ N
show that t_n is a constant sequence
f) hence obtain the limit of the sequences (u_n ) and (v_n )
