Ok, you seem to have a misconception that an answer that is accurate to a large number of decimal places is exact. It isn't.
xn+1=10e2xn
xn+1=2ln10xn
Try both with x1=1
Ah thanks Mr M!!! That's what i've been working on, but I get one solution converging to 1.2713......... From the shape of the y=e^2x and y=10x graphs I would assume that there surely should be 2 solutions.. but iteration can only find one from my understanding..

am I forgetting something, P.s. repped you thanks
You said the question required EXACT solutions. So iteration will not give the required solution.
I did it by differentiating both sides w.r.t x and it becomes simple to solve. However, the graphical idea of there being two solutions seems quite completing.
