Consider the difference equation 1-xn xn+1 = = f (xn). 3xn+1 Sketch the curve f(xn) as a function of xn. Determine any fixed points of the difference equation and determine their stability. Finally, determine an expression for xn+2 as a function of xn. Use this map to determine if there are any cycles of period 2, and determine their stability.
