Question M = (M,d) and Y = (Y,d") denote metric spaces. Let (xn) be a sequence in M and let a E M and k ≥ 0. Suppose that d(a,xn+1) ≤ |k|d(a,xn) for all n E N. Let qn = q (n) be a number such that d(a,xn+1) ≤ qn d(a,x₁) for all n E N. Give qn and the range R of values of k for which the sequence (xn) is convergent.
