Question

If an=7+7+7+.......{a_n} = \sqrt {7 + \sqrt {7 + \sqrt {7 + .......} } } having nn radical signs then by methods of mathematical induction which is true

Options

Solution

Given an=7+7+7+.......{a_n} = \sqrt {7 + \sqrt {7 + \sqrt {7 + .......} } } \therefore an=7+an{a_n} = \sqrt {7 + {a_n}} \Rightarrow an2=7+ana_n^2 = 7 + {a_n} \Rightarrow an2an7=0a_n^2 - {a_n} - 7 = 0 an=1±14×1×72 \Rightarrow {a_n} = {{1 \pm \sqrt {1 - 4 \times 1 \times - 7} } \over 2} an=1±292 \Rightarrow {a_n} = {{1 \pm \sqrt {29} } \over 2} As an{a_n} > 0, \therefore an=1+292{a_n} = {{1 + \sqrt {29} } \over 2} = 3.19 So an>3n1{a_n} > 3\,\,\forall \,\,n \ge 1
