Real Analysis - contraction is continuous

Show that a contraction is continuous.

Real Analysis - Newton's Method and showing convergence.

Newton's Method: Consider the equation f(x)=0 where f is a real-valued function of a real variable. Let x_0 be any initial approximation of the solution and let x_(n+1)=x_n - (f(x_n)/f'(x_n)). Show that if there is a positive number "a" such that for all x in [x_0-a, x_0+a] |(f(x)f''(x))/((f'(x))^2)|<=lambda<1 and |(f(x ...continues

Real Analysis - Banach Fixed Point Theorem

Prove the following generalization of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem: If T is a transformation of a complete metric space X into itself such that the nth iterate, T^n, is a contraction for some positive integer n, then T has a unique fixed-point.
