Let  $x_0=1$ , and let  $\delta$  be some constant satisfying  $0<\delta<1$ . Iteratively, for  $n=0,1,2,\dots$ , a point  $x_{n+1}$  is chosen uniformly form the interval  $[0,x_n]$ . Let  $Z$  be the smallest value of  $n$  for which  $x_n<\delta$ . Find the expected value of  $Z$ , as a function of  $\delta$ .
