Consider the function g (x) = 12x + 4 - cos x.
Given g (x) = 0 has a unique solution x =
b in the interval (−1/2, 0), and you can use this without
justification.
(a) Show that Newton's method of starting point
x0 = 0 gives a number sequence with
b <··· <xn+1 <xn <···
<x1 <x0 = 0
(The word "curvature" should be included in the argument!)
(b) Calculate x1 and x2. Use
theorem 2 in section 4.2 (page 229- Error bounds for
Newtons Method) or intermediate value
theorem to show that
x2 - b <0.0000003.
(c) Find a suitable function that you can perform fix piont
iteration to find b. Calculate and compare the
results of calculating the first three iterations of Newton's
method and fix point iteration
