Infinite recurrence

Calculus Level 3

A sequence is defined by the recurrence relation

t 1 = 1 and t n = 1 2 ( t n 1 + x t n 1 ) . t_1 = 1 \text{ and } t_n = \dfrac{1}{2} \left(t_{n-1} + \dfrac{x}{t_{n-1}} \right).

where x x is a positive real. Find

lim n t n \displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} t_n

x 2 \dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2} x 2 \dfrac{x}{2} 1 x \dfrac{1}{x} x \sqrt{x} x 2 \sqrt{\dfrac{x}{2}} x x 1 1 0 0
