(This fraction goes on indefinitely)

Easier..i used same one
Consider a sequence of a n , where:
a n = 4 3 + a n − 1
lim n → ∞ a n = L because we can assume this fraction converges to a limit (otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this problem), we know that as n → ∞ , a n = a n + 1
So:
L = n → ∞ lim a n + 1 apply the recursive definition: L = n → ∞ lim 4 3 + a n L = 4 3 + L 4 L = 3 + L 3 L = 3 L = 1 lim n → ∞ a n = 1
Could you explain the meaning of lim? i want to learn these

Lim means limit .It is a sub-topic in calculus.

let,
4 3 + 4 4 3 + 4 4 3 + 4 4 3 + 4 . . . = x
Since the fraction goes on for infinity,
x = 4 3 + 4 x = 4 3 + x
Solving it gives x = 1
Therefore, the answer is 1
