Use proof by induction

 

 

Consider the function ƒ : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) defined by
X
f(x) = 1².
1+x
Prove that the following equation holds for all n E N and all
x = [0, ∞): f (x)
=
x
1+nx
(Note: fn is the function obtained by composing f with itself n
times. For example, ƒ² = ƒoƒ and ƒ5 = ƒoƒoƒoƒoƒ,
O
etc.)
