Math Problems
Let me know if you can
work any of the following.
- Let a and b be any two positive numbers. Let
a0=a and b0=b. Define the following sequence of
numbers
an+1=[an+bn]/2,
b2n+1=anbn
Show that each of these sequences is monotone, and that they converge
to a common limit.
- Suppose Adam buys one dollar's worth of flour each week and Eve
buys one pound of flour each week. If the price of flour is not
constant from week to week, which one gets the lowest average cost per
pound of flour?
