Question:
f(x) = x2 − 6x + 1
a. Show that the equation f(x) = 0 can be written as x = √6x + 1.
b. Sketch on the same axes the graphs of y = x and y = √6x - 1.
c. Write down the number of roots of f(x).
d. d Use your diagram to explain why the iterative formula converges to a root of f(x) when x0 = 2. f(x) = 0 can also be rearranged to form the iterative formula
e. By sketching a diagram, explain why the iteration diverges when x0 = 10.
