Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Using the function f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 3, start with an initial guess of x0 = 1. Perform two iterations and show your work.
💡 Hint: Focus on plugging values into the formula accurately.
Question 2
Demonstrate your understanding of why convergence may fail with a poorly chosen initial guess for f(x) = cos(x) - x, with starting points x0 = 1.5 and x0 = 0.5. Discuss the outcomes.
💡 Hint: Graphing the function helps visualize its roots and the steepness of slopes.
