Question 69

Show that the equation $x^3 + 4x = 4$ has a solution between $x = 0$ and $x = 1$ .

[2]

Show that the equation $x^3 + 4x = 4$ can be rearranged to give: $x=1−x34\displaystyle x = 1 - \frac{x^3}{4}$

[1]

Starting with $x_0 = 0$ , use the iteration formula $xn+1=1−xn34\displaystyle x_{n+1} = 1 - \frac{x_n^3}{4}$ twice to find an estimate for the solution to $x^3 + 4x = 4$
