Capitolo 10, Problema 10.1.105
Recursively Defined Sequences
In Exercises 101–108, assume that each sequence converges and find its limit.
a₁ = 5,aₙ₊₁ = √(5aₙ)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the recursive sequence given: \(a_1 = 5\) and \(a_{n+1} = \sqrt{5a_n}\). We want to find the limit \(L\) as \(n\) approaches infinity, assuming the sequence converges.
Assuming the sequence converges to a limit \(L\), then both \(a_n\) and \(a_{n+1}\) approach \(L\). So, set \(L = \sqrt{5L}\) to find the limit.
Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root: \(L^2 = 5L\).
Rearrange the equation to standard polynomial form: \(L^2 - 5L = 0\).
Factor the equation: \(L(L - 5) = 0\). The possible limits are \(L = 0\) or \(L = 5\). Use the initial term and the nature of the sequence to determine which limit is valid.

Recursively Defined Sequences
A recursively defined sequence is one where each term is defined based on one or more previous terms. Understanding how to work with such sequences involves using the given formula repeatedly to generate terms and analyze their behavior as n increases.

Arithmetic Sequences - Recursive Formula
Convergence of Sequences
A sequence converges if its terms approach a specific finite value as n approaches infinity. Determining convergence often involves finding a limit L such that the sequence terms get arbitrarily close to L, which is essential for solving limit problems in recursive sequences.

Finding Limits of Recursive Sequences
To find the limit of a convergent recursive sequence, assume the limit exists and set L equal to the limit of both aₙ and aₙ₊₁. Then solve the resulting equation, often involving algebraic manipulation, to find the value of L that satisfies the recursive definition.
