A sequence (U_n ) is defined reculsively as
U_o = (1/2) and U_(n+1) = (2/(1 + U_n )) for n ∈ N
a) Show by mathematical induction that all terms in the sequence
are positive.
b) Given that the sequence (U_n ) is convergent, show that the limit,l, is
a solution to the equation x^2 + x−2 = 0. Hence find l
c) Given that (V_n ) is a sequence of general term such that
V_n = ((U_n −1)/(U_n +2)) , ∀ n ∈ N.
show that (V_n ) is convergent and determine its limit.
hence deduce the convergence of the sequence (U_n ).
