Let $n \in \mathbb{N},n \ge 2,$ and $A,B \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R}).$ Prove that there exists a complex number $z,$ such that $|z|=1$ and $$\Re \left( {\det(A+zB)} \right) \ge \det(A)+\det(B),$$ where $\Re(w)$ is the real part of the complex number $w.$

Let $x_0=a, x_1= b, x_2 = c$ be given real numbers and let $x_{n+2} = \frac{x_n + x_{n-1}}{2}$ for all $n\geq 1$. Show that the sequence $(x_n)_{n\geq 0}$ converges and find its limit.
