IrMO 1990 Problem 8

  • Paper 2

Let tt be a real number, and let an=2cos⁡(t2n)−1,n=1,2,3,…a_n=2\cos \left(\frac{t}{2^n}\right)-1, n=1,2,3,\dots Let bnb_n be the product a1a2a3⋯ana_1a_2a_3\cdots a_n . Find a formula for bnb_n that does not involve a product of nn terms, and deduce that lim⁡n→∞bn=2cos⁡t+13\lim_{n\to \infty}b_n=\frac{2\cos t+1}{3}
