No solution at x=0.
.
.
.
Next x=1/2.
Actually, y becomes large and the  term goes to zero, so the equation looks like,
 and
y=1061*1061=1125721
.
.
.
Next x=1. That's an easy one.
.
.
.
Next x=2,
Here's where the iteration takes place.
I set up an EXCEL spreadsheet to home in on a solution.
 and

Next x=3,
Here's where the iteration takes place.
I set up an EXCEL spreadsheet to home in on a solution.
Looks like there's only one solution.
