Question

Given $\text{a}_1=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_0+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_0}\Big),\text{a}_2=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_1+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_1}\Big)$ and $\text{a}_{\text{n}+1}=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_\text{n}+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_\text{n}}\Big)$ for $\text{n}\geq2,$ Where a > 0, A > 0. Prove that $\frac{\text{a}_{\text{n}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{n}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}=\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg)^{2^{\text{n}-1}}$

Answer

$\text{a}_1=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_0+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_0}\Big),\text{a}_2=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_1+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_1}\Big)$ and $\text{a}_{\text{n}+1}=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_\text{n}+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_\text{n}}\Big)$
Let P(n): $\frac{\text{a}_{\text{n}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{n}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}=\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg)^{2^{\text{n}-1}}$
For n = 1
$\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}=\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg)^{2^{\text{n}-1}}$
$\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}=\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg)$
⇒ p(n) is true for n = 1
Let p(n) is true for n = k,
$\frac{\text{a}_{\text{k}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{k}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}=\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg) \ ...(1)$
We have to show that,
$\frac{\text{a}_{\text{k}+1}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{k}+1}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}=\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg)^{2\text{k}}$
$\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}_{\text{k}+1}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{k}+1}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}\Bigg)^{2^0}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}\frac{\frac{\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}_\text{k}+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_\text{k}}\Big)-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{1}}{2\Big(\text{a}_\text{k}+\frac{\text{A}}{\text{a}_\text{k}}\Big)+\sqrt{\text{A}}} \end{bmatrix}^{2^0}$
$=\Bigg[\frac{(\text{a}_\text{k})^2+\text{A}-2\text{a}_\text{k}\sqrt{\text{A}}}{(\text{a}_\text{k})^2+\text{A}+2\text{a}_\text{k}\sqrt{\text{A}}}\Bigg]^{2^0}$
$=\frac{\Big(\text{a}_{\text{k}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}\Big)^2}{\Big({\text{a}_{\text{k}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}\Big)^2}}$
$=\Bigg[\frac{\text{a}_{\text{k}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{k}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}\Bigg]^{2^1}$
$=\Bigg[\frac{\text{a}_{\text{1}}-\sqrt{\text{A}}}{{\text{a}_{\text{1}}+\sqrt{\text{A}}}}\Bigg]^{2^\text{k}}$
⇒ P(n) is true for n = k + 1
⇒ P(n) is true for $\text{n}\in\text{N}$ by PM
