Expert Solution
Step 1

For the given function g(x)=1+e-x has a unique fixed point on 1,2.

The theorem says that,

  • g(x) is defined and differentiable on 1,2
  • g(x)1,2 x1,2
  • There is a number l<1 such that g'(x)l<1  x1,2 then there is a unique fixed point.

Since g(x)=1+e-x is defined and differentiable on 1,2

 The values for the exponential function e-x at x = 1, 2

 e-1=0.3679e-2=0.1353

1+e-1, 1+e-2 both belongs to 1,2

 

Step 2

Now the derivative ,

g'(x)=-e-xg'(x)=e-x<1  x1,2

Therefore, there exists a unique fixed point.

As g(x) satisfies all the criterion of the theorem therefore, g(xn) converges.

Given that   p0=1
