4. A sequence \(\left\{ u _ { n } \right\}\), where \(n \geqslant 1\), satisfies the recurrence relation
$$2 u _ { n } = u _ { n - 1 } - k n ^ { 2 } \text { where } 4 u _ { 2 } - u _ { 0 } = 27 k ^ { 2 }$$
and \(k\) is a non-zero constant.
Show that, as \(n\) becomes large, \(u _ { n }\) can be approximated by a quadratic function of the form \(a n ^ { 2 } + b n + c\) where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants to be determined.
