Graphical Iteration 1

To represent the dynamics of this process, we label the x-axis xn and the y-axis xn+1.

That is, if the x-coordinate of a point is one of the xn, then the y-coordinate is xn+1, the next value of the sequence.

We will represent the sequence of values x0, x1, x2, x3, ... by the sequence of points

(x0, x0), (x1, x1), (x2, x2), ...

To do this, we need to include the graph of xn+1 = xn and of xn+1 = f(xn).

Select the starting value x0 and plot the point (x0, 0)
