At the first characteristic polynomial is
Its roots satisfy the root condition for a multistep method: the only unit-modulus root is the simple root , and the other root has modulus . The method is consistent because part a gives positive order. The Dahlquist equivalence theorem, in the form allowed by the question for this derivative-augmented method, therefore proves convergence.
