CMO 1995 Problem 5

  • Paper

uu is a real parameter such that 0<u<10<u<1 . For 0≤x≤u0\le x \le u , f(x)=0f(x)=0 . For u≤x≤nu\le x \le n , f(x)=1−(ux+(1−u)(1−x))2f(x)=1-\left(\sqrt{ux}+\sqrt{(1-u)(1-x)}\right)^2 . The sequence {un}\{u_n\} is define recursively as follows: u1=f(1)u_1=f(1) and un=f(un−1)u_n=f(u_{n-1}) ∀n∈N,n≠1\forall n\in \mathbb{N}, n\neq 1 . Show that there exists a positive integer kk for which uk=0u_k=0 .
