Given $a,b>0$ let $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ be sequences defined as follows: $a_1=a, b_1=b,a_{n+1}=\frac{a_n+b_n}{2},b_{n+1}=\sqrt{a_nb_n}$
Prove that the sequences converge and that their limits are equal.
I don't know how to begin to solve this question because it's the first time I encounter with a sequence defined by another inductive sequence. When I see an inductive sequence the tool I use is to show that the sequence is monotonic increasing/decreasing and that it's bounded and then use limit arithmetic to calculate the limit.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
