sequences and series - Prove that limntoinftynk(3xn)=0, for any kinmathbbN



Let (xn)nN be a sequence such that xn+1=3+2xn and x0[0,3]. Prove that:
limnnk(3xn)=0,kN



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=3yn and the recursion becomes




3yn+1=92yn=3129yn313yn



i.e., for large n, yn+1yn/3, or ync3n, which indeed disappears faster than any power of n.
