Working with iterative methods.

The sequence of value given by the iterative formula is
       X n+1=2/9-lnXn with initial value X=1,converges to alpha.

1)  State an equation satisfied by alpha, and hence show that alpha is the x coordinate of a point on the curve where y=3.

2) Use this iterative formula to find alpha correct to 2 decimal places, showing each iteration.
