RESULT

Read and answer the following questions. Write your answers on a blank piece of paper.
Show all the working needed.

1. Find all the roots of 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 + 1 = 0, giving your answers correct to 2 decimal places. [5]

2. Sketch 𝑦 = 2𝑥 and 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 2 on the same axes.


Use your sketch to deduce the number of roots of the equation 2𝑥 = 𝑥 + 2. [3]
Find each root, correct to 3 decimal places. [3]

3. Using iteration process, show that 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 = 7 has a solution that lies between 1 and 2.
(Hint: Use this iterative equation 𝑥𝑛+1 = 3√7 − 2𝑥𝑛 to find the solution) [4]
