Question Number 98880 by Ar Brandon last updated on 16/Jun/20

Given the sequence (u_n )_(n∈N^∗ )  defined by  { (((1/2^n ) if n≡0mod(3))),(((1/3^n )+1   if n≡1mod(3))),((((u_(n−1) +u_(n+2) )/2) if n≡2mod(3))) :}  a\Determine the first−8^(th)  terms of (u_n )_(n∈N^∗ )   b\Show that the sequences (v_n )_(n∈N) , (w_n )_(n∈N) , and (z_n )_(n∈N)   where v_n =u_(3n) , w_n =u_(3n+1)  and z_n =u_(3n+2 ) are convervent  and find their respective limits  c\Deduce the nature of (u_n )_(n∈N^∗ )
