    Series 2: sequences of real numbers

    Exercise1
    Let us consider the following sequences given by the expression of the general term:
    n+1 1 (−1)n
    Un = n+2 , Vn = n + (−1)n , Ln = n + (−1)n , kn = n6 +1 .

    the account, but that 1000DA is withdrawn each month.
    a. Show that the amount in the account after n months is An = (1 + 0.05/12)An−1 − 10 ;A0 = 100000.

    c. Is the amount increasing or decreasing?
    d. Suppose that instead of 1000DA, a fixed amount d dinar is withdrawn each month. Find a value of d
    such that the amount in the account after each month remains 100000DA.
    e. What happens if d is greater than this amount?
    Exercise8 Solve the recurrence relation an = 2an−1 − an−2 .
