题目

Problem

The sequence u1u_1, u2u_2, u3u_3, …\ldots is such that u1=5u_1=5 and un+1=6un+5u_{n+1}=6u_n+5 for n⩾1n\geqslant1.

(a) Prove by induction that un=6n−1u_n=6^n-1 for all positive integers nn.

(5)

(b) Deduce that u2nu_{2n} is divisible by unu_n for n⩾1n\geqslant1.

(2)
题目中文翻译

数列 u1u_1、u2u_2、u3u_3、…\ldots 满足 u1=5u_1=5,且当 n⩾1n\geqslant1 时,un+1=6un+5u_{n+1}=6u_n+5。

(a) 用数学归纳法证明:对所有正整数 nn,un=6n−1u_n=6^n-1。

(5)

(b) 由此推得,当 n⩾1n\geqslant1 时,u2nu_{2n} 能被 unu_n 整除。

(2)
原卷通用作答要求

Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.

You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.

Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

For n=1n=1, 61−1=5=u16^1-1=5=u_1, so the statement holds.

Assume that uk=6k−1u_k=6^k-1 for some positive integer kk. Then, using the recurrence,

uk+1= 6uk+5= 6(6k−1)+5=6k+1−1.\begin{align*} u_{k+1}=&\,6u_k+5\\[4mm] =&\,6(6^k-1)+5=6^{k+1}-1. \end{align*}

Thus the result holds for k+1k+1. By mathematical induction, un=6n−1\boxed{u_n=6^n-1} for every positive integer nn.

承接(a),分子是平方差,因式分解后商为整数。

Using (a),

u2n= 62n−1= (6n−1)(6n+1)= un(6n+1).\begin{align*} u_{2n}=&\,6^{2n}-1\\[4mm] =&\,(6^n-1)(6^n+1)\\[4mm] =&\,u_n(6^n+1). \end{align*}

Since 6n+16^n+1 is an integer, un divides u2n\boxed{u_n\text{ divides }u_{2n}} for every n≥1n\ge1.
