Question:
The terms of a sequence with first term x1 = 1 are defined by the iterative formula:
The terms converge to the value α.
a. Use this formula to find the value of α correct to 2 decimal places. Give the value of each term you calculate to 4 decimal places.
b. The value α is the root of an equation of the form ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0, where a, b, c and d are integers. Find this equation.
