Problem
Suppose that {an}n=1∞ is a sequence such that a1=5 and an+1=12+an for n≥1. Which of the following statements is true?
(a) −∞<limn→∞an≤1.
(b) 1<limn→∞an≤2.
(c) 2<limn→∞an≤3.
(d) limn→∞an does not exist.
(e) None of the above statements is true.

- 若極限為 L,必滿足固定點方程;再由遞迴函數的單調性確認所取根。

設極限為 L,則
L=12+L⟹L2−L−12=0.
因 an>0,故 L=4。此值不在選項 (a)–(d),答案為 (e)。
