6. Consider the sequence \{x_n\} given by the recurrence $x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{x_n^2}{2}$ ($n \ge 1$) with the first term $x_1 = 1$. Use Stoltz-Cesaro to calculate \(\lim_{n \to \infty} nx_n\). \newline Hints: Move $x_n$ to the bottom.

Let p(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0, a general nth degree polynomial. Use L'Hopital's rule to prove lim (anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a1x + a0) / n = 1 as n approaches infinity. Use L'Hopital's rule to find lim (1 + e)^(a/r) as r approaches 0.
