i)a1=a

ii)a2=b

and an+2=(an+1+an)/2

a1= a
a2=b
a3= (a+b)/2
a4=(a+3b)/4
a5=(3a+5b)/8
a6=(5a+11b)/16
a7=(11a+21b)/32

we take a4 as teh first term..
so, let the last term be m=n-3
then we get a series for both a's and b's coefficients whose difference is in AP wid comm diff 4.
a ka series is one term behind b ka series.
for series of a;
Sm = 3 + 5 + 11 + 21 + ................... + tm
Sm = 3 + 5 + 11 + 21 + ........... + tm-1 + tm
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 = 3 + [2+6+10+....+ till m-1 terms] - tm
=> tm = 3 + [2+4(m-2)] = 4m-3

similarly for the series of b;
t'm= 4m-6

the denominator is a GP whose nth term will be: 4X2m-1

then a'm = [(4m-6)a + (4m-3)b]/ 4.2m-1

if n-> infi , m also -> infi

so, lim m->infi [(4m-6)a + (4m-3)b]/ 4.2m-1

2(a+b)/[lim m->∞ 2m/m]

a+2b /3

but havent there been simpler QODs b4

Celestine preetham ·

hint :

2 an+2 + an+1 = a + 2b

now try finding proof for this and then use some logic

The relation's crrctness cN BE EXAMINED BY takin an example!!

but yaar i cudnt get da Prooof how u achieved it [2]

hint pl cele!!!!!

SORRY HO GAYA!!!!!!!

NICE UN CELEE!!!!!!!!

Celestine preetham ·

we are gvn

2 an+2 = an+1+ an

also 2 an+1 = an + an-1
........
.....
.....
.......
2a3 = a +b

now add all these and simplify u ll get

ya ya i already got it dude!!

thnx again!!
