Studies of convergences  the numbers real sequence {x_n },  with x_1 =1 and x_(n+1) =((x_n ^2 +2)/(2x_n )), n≥1

$$\mathrm{Studies}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{convergences} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{numbers}\:\mathrm{real}\:\mathrm{sequence}\:\left\{{x}_{{n}} \right\}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{with}\:{x}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{and}\:{x}_{{n}+\mathrm{1}} =\frac{{x}_{{n}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}{x}_{{n}} },\:{n}\geqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$

we have x_(n+1) =f(x_n ) with f(x)=((x^2  +2)/(2x)) =(x/2) +(1/x)  with x>0  we havef^′ (x)=(1/2)−(1/x^2 ) =((x^2 −2)/(2x^2 ))    and f^′ (x)=0  ⇔x =+^− (√2)  x              0                 (√2)             +∞  f^′ (x)               −                +  f(x)       +∞ deccf((√2))  incre  +∞  f((√2)) =(1/(√2)) +(1/(√2)) =(√2)  f is continue on ]0,+∞[     let find the fix point  f(x)=x ⇔(x/2) +(1/x) =x ⇔(1/x) =(x/2) ⇒2=x^2  ⇒x =(√2)    because x >0  (x_n ) is convergent  and lim_(n→+∞) x_n =(√2).
