Math Problem Statement

On considère la suite (u_n) définie par une formule récurrente. Calculer les premiers termes, prouver certaines propriétés de la suite, et étudier ses variations.

Solution

I see you've uploaded an image with a mathematical exercise in French. Let me break it down for you:

It appears to be a problem involving sequences. The sequence (un)(u_n) is defined recursively with the relation:

un+1=3un+2withu0=2andu1=4u_{n+1} = 3u_n + 2 \quad \text{with} \quad u_0 = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad u_1 = 4

You're asked to:

  1. Calculate u1u_1 and u2u_2.
  2. Prove that the sequence (un)(u_n) is a geometric sequence.
  3. Express unu_n as a function of nn.
  4. Study the variations of the sequence (un)(u_n).

Would you like me to walk you through solving these steps, or is there a specific part you'd like to focus on?

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is a recursive formula and how is it used in this problem?
  2. What does it mean for a sequence to be geometric?
  3. How do you find a closed-form expression for a recursive sequence?
  4. How do you analyze the variations of a sequence?
  5. What is the significance of initial conditions in recursive sequences?

Tip: Understanding the recursive definition of the sequence is key to solving problems like this, as it helps in calculating terms and recognizing patterns.
