Question: f(x) = 5x 4 sin x 2, where x is in radians. a. Show that f(x) = 0 has a root, , between

f(x) = 5x − 4 sin x − 2, where x is in radians. 

a. Show that f(x) = 0 has a root, α, between x = 1.1 and x = 1.15.

b. Show that f(x) = 0 can be written as x = p sin x + q , where p and q are rational numbers to be found.

c. Starting with x0 = 1.1, use the iterative formula xn + 1 = p sin xn + q with your values of p and q to calculate the values of x1, x2, x3 and x4 to 3 decimal places.
