Let f be differentiable on R with a = sup{|f'(x)| : x ≤ R} < 1. = f(so), $2 = f($1), etc. Prove (Sn) is a = (a) Select So E R and define Sn = f(Sn-1) for n ≥ 1. Thus 8₁ convergent sequence. Hint: To show that (sn) is Cauchy, first show |Sn+1 - Sn| ≤ a|sn - Sn-1| for n ≥ 1. (b) Show f has a fixed point, i.e., f(s) = s for some s in R.
