Sorry to be a hassle but i really don't see how this is fundamentally going to answer the question which is proving that the limit equals (∣f″(x∗)∣/2∣f′(x∗)∣))^q−1.

I think i still need further help. I get that β= -((1+root5)/2) and 0.61803 What does that mean the relationship between β and q is?

Right I see so 1/β is equal to β+1 and therefore β^2+β-1=0

To get the top right to look like the top left you raise it to the power 1/β To get the bottom right to look like the bottom left you raise to the power β+1 Im failing to see how this helps to answer the question though.

is it 1/β+1 ?

Im not sure what the value of α would be could you shed some light?

Im afraid I am not sure what the value of beta would be. How can the value of β be made to look like the value of β+1??

I get (∣xk+1−x∗∣*∣xk−x∗∣^β) / (∣xk−x∗∣^β+1)*(∣xk−1−x∗∣) But I'm not sure where to go from there. Could you assist?
