(i) Using the GC, α = 0.619 and β = 1.512 (correct to 3 decimal places)

(ii) Assuming that the sequence converges to some constant l ,

then xn → l and xn +1 → l as n → ∞
Given xn +1 = 13 e xn , we have
l = 13 el
3l = el
el − 3l = 0
Since α and β are the roots of the equation e x − 3 x = 0 , l = α or l = β .
Hence the sequence converges to either α or β .

(iii) For x1 = 0 , the sequence converges to α.

For x1 = 1 , the sequence converges to α.
For x1 = 2 , the sequence diverges.

Since xn +1 = 13 e xn , xn +1 − xn = e xn − xn = e xn − 3 xn .
xn
If α < xn < β , e − 3 xn < 0 as observed from the graph.
∴ xn +1 − xn < 0, i.e. xn +1 < xn .
If xn < α or xn > β , e xn − 3 xn > 0 as observed from the graph.
∴ xn +1 − xn > 0, i.e. xn +1 > xn .

(v) When x1 = 0 , we have x1 < α so xn +1 > xn from (iv). The sequence x1 , x2 , x3 , …,

is an increasing sequence which converges to α (from below).

When x1 =1, we have α < x1 < β , so xn +1 < xn from (iv). The sequence x1 , x2 ,
x3 , …, is a decreasing sequence which converges to α (from above).

When x1 = 2 , we have x1 > β , so xn +1 > xn from (iv). The sequence x1 , x2 , x3 , …,

is an increasing sequence which diverges.
