数列{an}的前n项和为Sn,数列{bn}中,b1=a1,bn=an-an-1(n≥2),若an+Sn=n. (1)设cn=an-1,求证:数列{cn}是等比数列; (2)求数列{bn}的通项公式.
问题描述:
数列{an}的前n项和为Sn,数列{bn}中,b1=a1,bn=an-an-1(n≥2),若an+Sn=n.
(1)设cn=an-1,求证:数列{cn}是等比数列;
(2)求数列{bn}的通项公式.
答
(1)证明:∵a1=S1,an+Sn=n,∴a1+S1=1,得a1=
.1 2
又an+1+Sn+1=n+1,两式相减得2(an+1-1)=an-1,即
=
an+1−1
an−1
,1 2
也即
=cn+1 cn
,故数列{cn}是等比数列.1 2
(2)∵c1=a1-1=-
,1 2
∴cn=-
,an=cn+1=1-1 2n
,an-1=1-1 2n
.1 2n−1
故当n≥2时,bn=an-an-1=
-1 2n−1
=1 2n
.1 2n
又b1=a1=
,即bn=1 2
(n∈N*).1 2n
