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 x↦√xso
x=√√√x
the same roots .
put it over and over again ....
x=√√√√√...√xx=2n√x⏟n→∞
we can write (4)
x=limn→∞(x)12n
where x is bounded number ∈R
solimn→∞(x)12n→1w.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 x≠0.
In case of x=0, we have 0=limn→∞(0)12n=limn→∞0=0
Therefore, 0 is also a solution.
