Calculate the limit of a sequence



A sequence cn is defined by the following recursion
cn+1=cn+cn1 for every n1
and c0=1,c1=2.




-Let an=cn+1cn, for every n0 and prove that
an=1+1an1 for every n1.



-Calculate the limit of the following sequence
c1c0,c2c1,c3c2,...,cn+1cn using the fact that this sequence is convergent






I tried close to everything to obtain the formula mentioned above but I did not succeed. What I obtained is an=1+cn1cn which is obviously wrong. As for calculating the limit, I don't have a clue what is meant by 'using the fact that this sequence is convergent'. Could anyone please help me out? Thank you in advance.


Answer




Cn+1=Cn+Cn1,An=Cn+1Cn



Substituting the first equation into the second equation you get: An=1+Cn1Cn.



From the second equation we can write: Cn1=CnAn1.



Then we substitute this in our third equation and we get: An=1+(CnAn1)/Cn.



is equal to 1+1An1.
