IrMO 1991 Problem 7

  • Paper 2

Let an=n2+1n4+4,n=1,2,3,…a_n=\frac{n^2+1}{\sqrt{n^4+4}}, n=1,2,3,\dots and let bnb_n be the product of a1,a2,a3,…,ana_1,a_2,a_3,\dots ,a_n . Prove that bn2=n2+1n2+2n+2,\frac{b_n}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{n^2+1}}{\sqrt{n^2+2n+2}}, and deduce that 1n3+1<bn2−nn+1<1n3\frac{1}{n^3+1}<\frac{b_n}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{n}{n+1}<\frac{1}{n^3} for all positive integers nn .
