Solution:
(2) By 4Sn=an? +2an
Get: 4S(n- 1)=a(n- 1)? +2a(n- 1)
Where n≥2 and n is an integer.
Subtract the two expressions to get:
4an=an? -a(n- 1)? +2an-2a(n- 1)
that is
Ann? -a(n- 1)? -2an-2a(n- 1)=0
The left factor of the formula is decomposed into:
[an+a(n- 1)][an-a(n- 1)-2]= 0
Since {an} are all positive numbers, an+a(n- 1)>0.
So there must be:
an-a(n- 1)-2=0
that is
an=a(n- 1)+2
Therefore, {an} is a arithmetic progression, the first term is 2, and the tolerance is 2, then
an=2+2(n- 1)=2n
(3)
1/a 1? + 1/a2? +...+ 1/an?
= 1/2? + 1/4? +...+ 1/(2n)?
& lt 1/2? + 1/4 2+ 1/6 4+...+ 1/2n(2n-2)
= 1/4+[ 1/2- 1/4+ 1/4- 1/6+...+ 1/(2n-4)- 1/(2n-2)+ 1/(2n-2)- 1/2n)/2
= 1/4+ 1/4- 1/4n = 1/2- 1/4n
∫n≥ 1
∴ 1/a 1? + 1/a2? +...+ 1/an? & lt 1/4+ 1/4- 1/4n & lt; 1/2
