Its derivative fn' (x) = NX (n-1)+1>; 0, so the function increments on [0, 1]. And f (0) =- 1
Proof: sup(n & gt;; =2)xn= 1。
Counterevidence:
if sup(n & gt; = 2)xn = a & lt; 1, with n >;; 0 means any n & gta^n & lt; (1-a)/2, so
xn^n+xn- 1 & lt; a^n+a- 1 & lt; ( 1-a)/2+a- 1 =-( 1-a)/2 & lt; 0 this contradicts that xn is the root of x n+x-1= 0.
So the conclusion is established.
