**Problem Statement:**1. Suppose \(\{x_n\}\) is a sequence of real numbers that is (i) increasing (that is, \(x_n \leq x_{n+1}\) for all \(n\)) and (ii) bounded above (that is, there exists some \(M \in \mathbb{R}\) so that \(x_n \leq M\) for all \(n\)). Prove that the sequence \(x_n\) converges.

The purpose of this exercise is to establish the convergence of an iterative process for approximating square roots. Define a sequence recursively as follows: X1 = 2 1 2 (xn-1 + 2 Xn Xn-1 A) Show that xn 2 v2 B) Show that the sequence is decreasing C) Show that the sequence converges to V2 D) Let ɛ X, - V2 and show that ɛn+1 which would mean letting o = 2v2 which 2xn makes ɛn+1 < o()2n (n = 1,2,3, ..) E) Generalize this process to find a sequence that converges to Va where x is any positive real number F) Generalize part (D) WITHOUT ANY PROOF and use it with x1 = 2 and a = 3 to determine E1 , ... , E6 Note: this will show how rapid the convergence of the recursion formula is in calculating square roots
