Let (xn)n∈N be a sequence such that xn+1=√3+2xn and x0∈[0,3]. Prove that:
limn→∞nk(3−xn)=0,∀k∈N∗
I've proved that (xn) is increasing, bounded and has a limit of 3, but I haven't managed to prove that the given limit is 0.
Thank you in advance!
Answer
Let xn=3−yn and the recursion becomes
3−yn+1=√9−2yn=3√1−29yn≈3−13yn
i.e., for large n, yn+1≈yn/3, or yn≈c⋅3−n, which indeed disappears faster than any power of n.
