Q16 4 marks Sequences and series, recurrence and convergence Auxiliary sequence transformation View
A sequence $\left\{ a _ { n } \right\}$ with all positive terms has $a _ { 1 } = 10$ and satisfies
$$\left( a _ { n + 1 } \right) ^ { n } = 10 \left( a _ { n } \right) ^ { n + 1 } \quad ( n \geq 1 )$$
The following is the process of finding the general term $a _ { n }$.
Taking the common logarithm of both sides of the given equation:
$$n \log a _ { n + 1 } = ( n + 1 ) \log a _ { n } + 1$$
Dividing both sides by $n ( n + 1 )$:
$$\frac { \log a _ { n + 1 } } { n + 1 } = \frac { \log a _ { n } } { n } + ( \text{(가)} )$$
Let $b _ { n } = \frac { \log a _ { n } } { n }$. Then $b _ { 1 } = 1$ and
$$b _ { n + 1 } = b _ { n } + \text{(가)}$$
Finding the general term of the sequence $\left\{ b _ { n } \right\}$:
$$b _ { n } = \text{(나)}$$
Therefore,
$$\log a _ { n } = n \times \text{(나)}$$
Thus $a _ { n } = 10 ^ { n \times \text{(나)} }$.
Let $f ( n )$ and $g ( n )$ be the expressions that fit in (가) and (나), respectively. What is the value of $\frac { g ( 10 ) } { f ( 4 ) }$? [4 points]
