. Suppose that the sequence (x_n) satisfies

|x_n –α| ≤ c | x_n-1- α|² for all n.

Show by induction that c | x_n- α| ≤ c | x₀ - α|²ⁿ , and give some condition

That is sufficient for the convergence of (x_n) to α.

Use part a) to estimate the number of iterations needed to reach accuracy

|x_n –α| < 10^-12 in case c = 10 and |x₀ –α |= 0.09.
