- A sequence is defined by the recurrence relation
$$u _ { n + 1 } = \sqrt { \left( \frac { u _ { n } } { 2 } + \frac { a } { u _ { n } } \right) } , \quad n = 1,2,3 , \ldots ,$$
where \(a\) is a constant.
- Given that \(a = 20\) and \(u _ { 1 } = 3\), find the values of \(u _ { 2 } , u _ { 3 }\) and \(u _ { 4 }\), giving your answers to 2 decimal places.
- Given instead that \(u _ { 1 } = u _ { 2 } = 3\),
- calculate the value of \(a\),
- write down the value of \(u _ { 5 }\).
