Let $f$ be the function defined on the interval $[ 0 ; 4]$ by $$f ( x ) = \frac { 2 + 3 x } { 4 + x }$$
Part A
We consider the sequence ( $u _ { n }$ ) defined by: $$u _ { 0 } = 3 \text { and for all natural integer } n , u _ { n + 1 } = f \left( u _ { n } \right) .$$ It is admitted that this sequence is well defined.
  1. Calculate $u _ { 1 }$.
  2. Show that the function $f$ is increasing on the interval $[ 0 ; 4 ]$.
  3. Show that for all natural integer $n$, $$1 \leqslant u _ { n + 1 } \leqslant u _ { n } \leqslant 3$$
  4. a. Show that the sequence ( $u _ { n }$ ) is convergent. b. We call $\ell$ the limit of the sequence ( $u _ { n }$ ); show the equality: $$\ell = \frac { 2 + 3 \ell } { 4 + \ell }$$ c. Determine the value of the limit $\ell$.

Part B
We consider the sequence $\left( v _ { n } \right)$ defined by: $$v _ { 0 } = 0.1 \text { and for all natural integer } n , v _ { n + 1 } = f \left( v _ { n } \right) .$$
  1. We give in the Annex the representative curve $\mathscr { C } _ { f }$ of the function $f$ and the line $D$ with equation $y = x$.
