Показать описание
We consider a recursive sequence. We show that the sequence is bounded and monotone. We apply the Monotone Convergence Theorem to show that the sequence converges. This is our first example.

You are the best, thank you. I have been having trouble proving convergence with recursive sequences. Appreciate it!

What would the be process for lets say x_1 = a (a is from the set of the Reals), x_{n+1} = x^2_n + x_n? This I already calculated and the sequence converges to 0 for any a from (-1, 1) but how do I prove it? Or is it neccessary to always prove this stuff via induction?

why we consider that an is bigger than one half?
