US-TST 2020 Problem 1

  • Answer

Choose positive integers b1,b2,…b_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots satisfying 1=b112>b222>b332>b442>⋯1=\frac{b_{1}}{1^{2}}>\frac{b_{2}}{2^{2}}>\frac{b_{3}}{3^{2}}>\frac{b_{4}}{4^{2}}>\cdots and let rr denote the largest real number satisfying bnn2≥r\frac{b_{n}}{n^{2}} \geq r for all positive integers nn. What are the possible values of rr across all possible choices of the sequence (bn)\left(b_{n}\right) ?
