Hey guys,
I have a function y=(x+2)/(x+1) and I have performed iterations to show that for any initial value other than -sqrt{2} the sequence converges to sqrt{2}.
So I have found that sqrt{2} is a stable fixed point and -sqrt{2} is an unstable fixed point.
Now I have to prove my findings using a standard test for convergence?
Can anyone help.
