※ 引述《TaiwanBank (澳仔金控台灣分行)》之銘言：
: If a_1 = 1 and a_(n+1) = (1 + a_n)^(1/2) for n = 1, 2,...
: Show that {a_n} is bounded and converges. What is the limit?
a_1 = 1 < 2, 設 a_n < 2
a_(n+1) = (1 + a_n)^(1/2) < √3 < 2
歸納法 => a_n < 2 for every n≧1
故 {a_n} 有上界
(a_1 = 1 > 0, 類似地歸納法可得 {a_n} 有下界.)
a_2 = √(1+1) = √2 => a_2 - a_1 > 0, 設 a_n - a_(n-1) > 0
a_(n+1) - a_n = (1 + a_n)^(1/2) - a_n > [1 + a_(n-1)]^(1/2) - a_n
= a_n - a_n = 0
歸納法 => a_(n+1) > a_n for every n≧1
故 {a_n} 遞增
{a_n} 是遞增有上界數列 => {a_n} 是收斂數列
設 a_n -> x as n -> oo => lim a_(n+1) = lim (1 + a_n)^(1/2)
n->oo n->oo
x = (1+x)^1/2 => x^2 - x - 1 = 0 => x = (1±√5)/2 (負不合)
