Question 220

Figure 1 below shows the sector AOB AOB\,AOB of a circle. The angle AOB AOB\,AOB is θ \theta\,θ radians.

Figure for question 3

The area of the triangle AOB AOB\,AOB is 34\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}43​ of the area of the sector AOBAOBAOB.

a.

Show that sin⁡θ−34θ=0\displaystyle \sin\theta - \frac{3}{4}\theta = 0sinθ−43​θ=0.

[3]
b.

Use the Newton-Raphson method with θ0=2\theta_0 = 2θ0​=2 to find θ4 \theta_4\,θ4​ as an approximation for θ\thetaθ. Give your answer to four decimal places, and show the result of each iteration.
