Let {U(n)} be a sequence of real numbers such that:
U(1) = k, where k is real and is not equal to √2, -1 or -√2
U(n+1)=[U(n)+2]/[U(n)+1] for n=1, 2, 3, ...
It is known that if the sequence converges, and has a limit of L,
L=(L+2)/(L+1)
L^2+L=L+2
L=√2 or -√2
Assume that U(n) is not equal -1 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...,
explain whether there exists some values for k such that
(i) lim (n--> infinity) U(n) = √2
(ii) lim (n--> infinity) U(n) = -√2
If possible, find the general term U(n) of this sequence in terms of k.
