We consider the sequence ( $u _ { n }$ ) such that $u _ { 0 } = 0$ and for all natural integer $n$ : $$u _ { n + 1 } = \frac { - u _ { n } - 4 } { u _ { n } + 3 } .$$ We admit that $u _ { n }$ is defined for all natural integer $n$.
  1. Calculate the exact values of $u _ { 1 }$ and $u _ { 2 }$.
  2. We consider the function term below written incompletely in Python language:

\begin{verbatim} def terme (n) : u = ... for i in range(n): u = ... return(u) \end{verbatim}
We recall that in Python language, «i in range (n) » means that $i$ varies from 0 to $n - 1$.
Rewrite and complete the box above so that, for all natural integer $n$, the instruction terme (n) returns the value of $u _ { n }$.
3. Let the function $f$ defined on $] - 3 ; + \infty [$ by: $$f ( x ) = \frac { - x - 4 } { x + 3 }$$ Thus, for all natural integer $n$, we have $u _ { n + 1 } = f \left( u _ { n } \right)$. Prove that the function $f$ is strictly increasing on $] - 3 ; + \infty [$.
4. Prove by induction that for all natural integer $n$ : $$- 2 < u _ { n + 1 } \leqslant u _ { n } .$$
  1. Deduce that the sequence ( $u _ { n }$ ) is convergent.
  2. Let the sequence $\left( v _ { n } \right)$ defined for all natural integer $n$ by:
$$v _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { u _ { n } + 2 }$$ a. Give $v _ { 0 }$. b. Prove that the sequence ( $v _ { n }$ ) is arithmetic with common difference 1 . c. Deduce that for all natural integer $n \geqslant 1$ : $$u _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { n + 0,5 } - 2 .$$ d. Determine the limit of the sequence $\left( u _ { n } \right)$.
