Fixed Point: Nest until a fixed point is reached Does every f(x) have a fixed point?

t? o If not, give an example of one that does not. Can there be more than one fixed point? o Consider periodic functions such as sin x.

Relevant mathematical concepts involved in the exploration: Functions Composition of Functions Fixed Point Iteration Function notation (i.e. ) Infinity Concept of Limits Domain and Range Sequences and Series Patterns Simplifying Expressions: Solving, Distribution, Substitution Evaluating Expressions Identity Common threads for teaching: Discussing previous concepts about functions (Prior knowledge) o Ensure they know how to compose functions Exploration (create their own functions, do at least 2 compositions) o Make sure to have them explore some specific functions that illustrate what it is you want them to see.
