![a_(n+1) =a_n (a_n +1) (1/a_(n+1) )=(1/(a_n (a_n +1)))=(1/a_n )−(1/(a_n +1)) (1/(a_n +1))=(1/a_n )−(1/a_(n+1) ) (1/(a_2 +1))=(1/a_2 )−(1/a_3 ) (1/(a_3 +1))=(1/a_3 )−(1/a_4 ) (1/(a_4 +1))=(1/a_4 )−(1/a_5 ) ... ... (1/(a_n +1))=(1/a_n )−(1/a_(n+1) ) add S_★ =(1/a_2 )−(1/a_(n+1) ) a_1 =(1/3) a_2 =a_1 ^2 +a_1 =(1/9)+(1/3)=((1+3)/9)=(4/9) S_★ =(9/4)−(1/a_(n+1) ) S=(1/a_2 )+(1/a_3 )+(1/a_4 )+...+(1/a_n ) S_★ =(1/(a_2 +1))+(1/(a_3 +1))+..+(1/(a_n +1))=(9/4)−(1/a_(n+1) ) S>S_★ [S_★ ]=[(9/4)−(1/a_(n+1) )]=[2+(1/4)−(1/a_(n+1) )]=2 so S>S_★ S>2 it is not the answer of tbe question but somehow i tried to co−relate...](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q55437.png)
