Please guys help me solve this nasty problem that i've been stuck for the past month:
Let
and 
be two sequences defined by:
![\[
a_{n+1} = \frac{1 + a_n + a_n b_n}{b_n} \quad \text{and} \quad b_{n+1} = \frac{1 + b_n + a_n b_n}{a_n}
\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/a/0/aa0a5c5acedc990eb345fb50a8395db05307a4e7.png)
for all 
, with initial values 
and 
.
Prove that:
![\[
a_{2024} < 5.
\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/c/a/fca6e6630f33429b5a7ea867d639a2e29ff881f2.png)
(btw am still not comfortable with system of recurrence sequences)
