6. Assume f: R → R and for some c < 1 we have for all x, y € R,
|f(x) = f(y)| ≤ c|x − y\.
(a) Prove that f is uniformly continuous.
(b) Pick and ₁ R and inductively define a sequence by letting
In = f(n-1) (for n ≥ 2). Prove that the sequence (n) is Cauchy.
(c) If (x) is the sequence from (b), and (xn) → a, then f(a) = a (so
a is a fixed point of f).
(d) Prove that a the only fixed point of f.
