Apply fixed-point iteration method for $f(x)=e^{x\sqrt{2x-1}}$. Is it possible?

I got this question as an exercise by my teacher (I think it can't be solved).

I know that the function $f(x)=e^{x\sqrt{2x-1}}$ doesn't have roots. How can you approximate a root that doesn't exist?

How can I show that the root can't be approximated by this method (or any other for that matter)?
