Under certain conditions, a solution to the equation g(x) =x can be found by starting with an arbitrary number c and nesting the function g to produce the sequence c, g(c),g(g(c)), g(g(g(c))),. . . The graphical representation of this process is a cobweb diagram. For some functions the process converges to a fixed point, but for others it doesn't. Can you determine the conditions under which you get convergence?
