another scheme question

A number x is called a fixed point of a function f if x satisfies the equation f(x)=x. For some functions f (the cosine function is an example) we can locate a fixed point by beginning with an initial guess applying f repeatedly,
f(x), f(f(x)), f(f(f(x))), …
until the value does not change very much. Using this idea, design a procedure fixed-point that takes as input a function and an initial guess and produces an approximation to a fixed point of the function. Test your procedure by evaluating the expression (fixed-point cos 1) to produce a fixed point of the cosine function.
