Question

Let {an},{bn},{cn} be sequences such that
(i)an+bn+cn=2n+1
(ii)anbn+bncn++cnan=2n1
(iii)anbncn=1
(iv)an<bn<cn
Then find the value of limnnan.

Solution

an+bn+cn=(2n+1)(bn+cn)=(2n+1)an(1)anbn+bncn+cnan=(2n1)an(bn+cn)+bncn=(2n1)(2)anbncn=1bncn=1an(3)
From (1),(2) and (3)
an((2n+1)an)1an=(2n1)an3(2n+1)an2+(2n1)an+1=0
We can check that (an=1) is a root of this equation
(1)3(2n+1)+(2n1)+1=0

Dividing the equation be (an1), we get an22nan1
an3(2n+1)an2+(2n1)an+1=0(an1)(an22nan1)=0(an1)(an22nan+n2n21)=0(an1)[(ann)2(n2+1)]=0(ann)2(n2+1)=0(ann)2=(n2+1)(an+n)=±n2+1 an=n±n2+1an=1,n+n2+1,nn2+1limnnan=
