calculus - Convergence of xn+1=frac13(x2n+2)

Let $0

Show that it's bounded above with xn<1

Base Case: x1=13(x20+2)<1
Induction Hypothesis: Be xk<1
Induction Step: nn+1



xn+1=13(x2n+2)<1.



Show that it's monotonically nondecreasing:
xn+1xn=13(x2n+2)xn=...
I've made a few steps more, but i can't see why this is in the end >0...
