let U_0 =cos((π/3)) and U_(n+1) =(√((1+U_n )/2))  find U_n  interms of n .

$${let}\:{U}_{\mathrm{0}} ={cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\right)\:{and}\:{U}_{{n}+\mathrm{1}} =\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}+{U}_{{n}} }{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$${find}\:{U}_{{n}} \:{interms}\:{of}\:{n}\:. \\ $$

we have U_1 =(√((1+U_o )/2))=(√((1+cos((π/3)))/2))  =cos((π/(2.3)))  let suppose U_n =cos((π/(3.2^n )))  ⇒U_(n+1) =(√((1+U_n )/2))=(√((1+cos((π/(3.2^n ))))/2))  =(√((2cos^2 ((π/(3.2^(n+1) ))))/2))=cos((π/(3.2^(n+1) )))  so for all n  U_n =cos((π/(3.2^n )))   and lim_(n→+∞)  U_n =cos(0)=1 .

$${we}\:{have}\:{U}_{\mathrm{1}} =\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}+{U}_{{o}} }{\mathrm{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}+{cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\right)}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$={cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{3}}\right)\:\:{let}\:{suppose}\:{U}_{{n}} ={cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{2}^{{n}} }\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{U}_{{n}+\mathrm{1}} =\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}+{U}_{{n}} }{\mathrm{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}+{cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{2}^{{n}} }\right)}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{2}{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} }\right)}{\mathrm{2}}}={cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} }\right)\:\:{so}\:{for}\:{all}\:{n} \\ $$$${U}_{{n}} ={cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{2}^{{n}} }\right)\:\:\:{and}\:{lim}_{{n}\rightarrow+\infty} \:{U}_{{n}} ={cos}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{1}\:. \\ $$
