What must you do before using the iteration formula?
Rearrange for x
1 of 5
What is the iteration formula?
x_(n + 1) = f(x_n)
2 of 5
Why isn't the iteration formula always reliable? (two reasons)
1. Different arrangments of equation may lead to different answers. 2. The series of x_0, x_1, x_2... may not improve an answer for the root
3 of 5
What is the basic rule for finding a root?
A root lies in the interval where f(x) changes sign
4 of 5
If x_0 = 1, what is x_1 given the equation x = (7x + 5)/4x
x_1 = (7 +5)/4 =3
