Question: f(x) = x 3 + 5x 2 2 a. Show that f(x) = 0 can be written as: b. Starting with x 0 =

f(x) = x3 + 5x2 − 2

a. Show that f(x) = 0 can be written as: ix=2-5x ix=3/32-5 ii iii x = 2-x 5b. Starting with x0 = 10, use the iterative formula in part a (i) to find a root of the equation f(x) = 0. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

c. Starting with x0 = 1, use the iterative formula in part a (iii) to find a different root of the equation f(x) = 0. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

d. Explain why this iterative formulae cannot be used when x0 = 2.

ix=2-5x ix=3/32-5 ii iii x = 2-x 5
