Problem 6

Given infinite sequences a1,a2,a3,⋯a_1,a_2,a_3,\cdots and b1,b2,b3,⋯b_1,b_2,b_3,\cdots of real numbers satisfying an+1+bn+1=an+bn2a_{n+1}+b_{n+1}=\frac{a_n+b_n}{2} and an+1bn+1=anbna_{n+1}b_{n+1}=\sqrt{a_nb_n} for all n≥1n\geq1 . Suppose b2016=1b_{2016}=1 and a1>0a_1>0 . Find all possible values of a1a_1
