let give the sequence (u_n ) /u_0 =1 and u_1 =2 and ∀ n ∈N 2u_(n+2) =3 u_(n+1) −u_n . let give the sequence (v_n ) / v_n = u_(n+1) −u_n . 1) prove that (v_n ) is geometric .find v_n in terms of n 2) find u_n in terms of n.

1)v_(n+1) =u_(n+2) −u_(n+1) =(3/2)u_(n+1) −(1/2)u_n −u_(n+1) =(1/2)(u_(n+1) −u_n ) =(1/2) v_n so (v_n ) is a geometric progression with raizon q=(1/2) ⇒v_n =v_0 q^n but v_0 =u_1 −u_0 =1 ⇒ v_n =((1/2))^n 2) Σ_(k=0) ^(n−1) v_k = Σ_(k=0) ^(n−1) (u_(k+1) −u_k )=u_1 −u_0 +u_2 −u_1 +...+u_n −u_(n−1) =u_n −u_0 ⇒u_n =1+Σ_(k=0) ^(n−1) ((1/2))^k =1+((1−((1/2))^n )/(1−(1/2))) = 1+2(1−(1/2^n ))= 3 −(1/2^(n−1) ) u_n = 3−(1/2^(n−1) ) .
