Q1: Using Maple, find the stable fixed points of x -> 3.6*x*(1-x) (if they exist). If so, then find the stable fixed points. 

A1: 

F := 3.6*x*(1 - x);
FP(F, x);
                       [0., 0.7222222222]

SFP(F, x);
                               []
No stable fixed point.


Q2: What other constant did Feigenbaum discover and what is the significance?

A2: Faigenbaum's second constant is his alpha constant, which is the ratio between the width of a tine and the width of one of its two subtines.
