calculus - Where is the lost root?




Suppose we need to solve x2=x. This is simple equation and roots are x=0,1.
It is obvious that right hand side must be 0 ,so we can write equation as
x=x

this eq. has the same roots



now put x in r.h.s instead of x and have
x=x

has the same roots.
again put in r.h.s xxso
x=x
the same roots .
put it over and over again ....
x=...xx=2nxn
we can write (4)

x=limn(x)12n
where x is bounded number R



solimn(x)12n1w.r.t.(4)x=1


Question: Is the conclusion correct ? If yes ,Where is the other root ?
Thanks in advance .


Answer



limn(x)12n=1

only if x0.



In case of x=0, we have 0=limn(0)12n=limn0=0



Therefore, 0 is also a solution.
