Given information
According to question a sequence is represented by the equation for , where and can be any real numbers
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We have the sequence
following the instructions we get:
Similarly the value of will be
The above can be applied to so
Above equation can be expressed as:
This is a geometric sum with and :
Going back to the equation
we found that above holds true for all so:
if we take the limit of both sides we get:
