Math Problem Statement

The problem involves the sequences a_n and b_n with recurrence relations. The sequence a_n is defined as: a_n = 1/2(a_(n-1) + b_n), and the sequence b_n is defined as: b_n = sqrt(a_(n-1) * b_(n-1)). The goal is to determine the limit of a_1 and b_1 and show that they converge to the same value.

Let me interpret the content and provide a solution.Upon reviewing the image, it appears to contain a mathematical problem involving sequences. The text includes the following points:

  • The problem references sequences ana_n and bnb_n, with specific recurrence relations.
  • The sequence ana_n is defined as: an=12(an1+bn)a_n = \frac{1}{2}(a_{n-1} + b_n)
  • The sequence bnb_n is defined as: bn=an1bn1b_n = \sqrt{a_{n-1}b_{n-1}}
  • The goal is to determine the limit of a1a_1 and b1b_1 and show that they converge to the same value.

The problem seems related to numerical methods, possibly Gauss-Seidel iteration or a form of averaging method.
