algebra precalculus - Calculate sqrtfrac12timessqrtfrac12+frac12sqrtfrac12timesldots

12×12+1212×12+1212+1212×



I already know a way to calculate it:



With cosπ4=12 and denote π4=x. Observe that:




12+1212=1+cosx2=cosx212+1212+1212=cosx4



Thus it becomes



P(n)=cosx2ncosx2n1cosx=2sinx2n1cosx2n1cosx2n2cosx22sinx2n1




Taking in to account that 2sinxcosx=sin2x, we have



P(n)=lim



Now, I'm looking for another solution, please comment on.
