Let $f$ be the function defined on the interval $] - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ; + \infty [$ by: $$f ( x ) = \frac { 4 x } { 1 + 3 x }$$ We consider the sequence $(u _ { n })$ defined by: $u _ { 0 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ and, for every natural number $n$, $u _ { n + 1 } = f \left( u _ { n } \right)$.
Calculate $u _ { 1 }$.
We admit that the function $f$ is increasing on the interval $] - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ; + \infty [$. a. Show by induction that, for every natural number $n$, we have: $\frac { 1 } { 2 } \leqslant u _ { n } \leqslant u _ { n + 1 } \leqslant 2$. b. Deduce that the sequence $(u _ { n })$ is convergent. c. We call $\ell$ the limit of the sequence $(u _ { n })$. Determine the value of $\ell$.
a. Copy and complete the Python function below which, for every positive real number $E$, determines the smallest value $P$ such that: $1 - u _ { P } < E$. \begin{verbatim} def seuil(E) : u=0.5 n = 0 while u = n = n + 1 return n \end{verbatim} b. Give the value returned by this program in the case where $E = 10 ^ { - 4 }$.
We consider the sequence $(v _ { n })$ defined, for every natural number $n$, by: $$v _ { n } = \frac { u _ { n } } { 1 - u _ { n } }$$ a. Show that the sequence $(v _ { n })$ is geometric with common ratio 4. Deduce, for every natural number $n$, the expression of $v _ { n }$ as a function of $n$. b. Prove that, for every natural number $n$, we have: $u _ { n } = \frac { v _ { n } } { v _ { n } + 1 }$. c. Show then that, for every natural number $n$, we have: $$u _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { 1 + 0.25 ^ { n } }$$ Find by calculation the limit of the sequence $(u _ { n })$.
