Find x so that x, x + 2, and x + 3 are consecutive terms of ageometric sequence.
To find the unique solution p^∗ ∈ [0, 1] of the equation x^3 + 6x^2 − 4 = 0, rewrite the equation in the fixed-point form x = g(x) with two different choices of g, such that the sequence {pn} from the fixed-point iteration pn = g(pn−1) is expected to converge to p^∗ when p0 is sufficiently close to p^∗(but not equal to p^∗). Explain why your choices of g would work.

(a) Why does the sequence of real numbers fn(x1) necessarily contain a convergent subsequence (fnk )? To indicate that the subsequence of functions (fnk ) is generated by considering the values of the functions at x1, we will use the notation fnk = f1,k.
