92. (a) Show that if lim,→» A2n = L and lim,- n A2n+1 = L, = L, then {a,} is convergent and lim, (b) If a = 1 and no An = L. an+1 = 1 + 1 + an find the first eight terms of the sequence {a,}. Then use part (a) to show that lim,o An = /2. This gives the continued fraction expansion V2 = 1 + 1 2 + 2 + .
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

### Arithmetic-Geometric Mean Process
In general, the process is defined as:
\[
a_{n+1} = \frac{a_n + b_n}{2} \quad \quad b_{n+1} = \sqrt{a_n b_n}
\]
#### Tasks:
(a) **Use mathematical induction to show that:**
\[
a_n > a_{n+1} > b_{n+1} > b_n
\]
(b) Deduce that both sequences \(\{a_n\}\) and \(\{b_n\}\) are convergent.
(c) Show that \(\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} b_n\). Gauss referred to the common value of these limits as the **arithmetic-geometric mean** of the numbers \(a\) and \(b\).

### Continued Fraction Expansion
92. **Problem:**
(a) Show that if \(\lim_{n \to \infty} a_{2n} = L\) and \(\lim_{n \to \infty} a_{2n+1} = L\), then \(\{a_n\}\) is convergent and \(\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = L\).
(b) If \(a_1 = 1\) and
\[
a_{n+1} = 1 + \frac{1}{1 + a_n}
\]
Find the first eight terms of the sequence \(\{a_n\}\). Then use part (a) to show that \(\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = \sqrt{2}\). This gives the **continued fraction expansion**:
\[
\sqrt{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{2 + \cdots}}
\]

### Fish Population Model
93. **Problem:**
The size of an undisturbed fish population has been modeled by the formula:
\[
p_{n+1} = \frac{b p_n}{a + p_n}
\]
where \(p_n\) is the fish population after \(n\) years, and \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants dependent on the species and environment.
