Question
Easy

Let $\{a_{n}\}$ and $\{b_{n}\}$ be sequences of real numbers defined as $a_{1}=1$ and for $n\ge1$, $a_{n+1}=a_{n}+(-1)^{n}2^{-n},b_{n}=\frac{2a_{n+1}-a_{n}}{a_{n}}.$ then:

1
$\{a_{n}\}$ converges to a non-zero number and $\{b_{n}\}$ is a Cauchy sequence.
2
$\{a_{n}\}$ converges to zero and $\{b_{n}\}$ is a Cauchy sequence.
3
$\{a_{n}\}$ converges to a non-zero number and $\{b_{n}\}$ is not a convergent sequence.
4
$\{a_{n}\}$ converges to zero and $\{b_{n}\}$ is not a convergent sequence.

Correct Answer
Option A
Explanation

To determine why Option 1 is the correct answer, we need to analyze the sequences \(\{a_n\}\) and \(\{b_n\}\). ### Analysis of \(\{a_n\}\): The sequence \(\{a_n\}\) is defined recursively by: - \(a_1 = 1\) - \(a_{n+1} = a_n + (-1)^n 2^{-n}\) Let's examine the first few terms to identify a pattern: - \(a_1 = 1\) - \(a_2 = a_1 + (-1)^1 \cdot 2^{-1} = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\) - \(a_3…Read More
