Homework Statement
"Use a fixed-point iteration method to find an approximation to [itex]\sqrt[3]{25}[/itex]that is accurate to within10^-4"
i need the solution in step by step ...
Homework Equations
x=g(x)
The Attempt at a Solution
all i can get is the range
[itex]\sqrt[3]{8}[/itex] [itex]\leq [/itex][itex]\sqrt[3]{25}[/itex] [itex]\leq[/itex] [itex]\sqrt[3]{27}[/itex]
then [a,b] = [2,3]
i can't get g(x) or solve this problem.
---------
update I've completed some of the question but still i get wrong answer
x^3-25=0
x.x^2=25
x^2=25/x
x= 5/[itex]\sqrt[2]{x}[/itex]
g(2)= 5/[itex]\sqrt[2]{2}[/itex] = 3.53553391 ( not in the bounded area)
g(3)=5/[itex]\sqrt[2]{3}[/itex] = 2.88675135 (correct)
i can't use this formula unless both answers are withing the range 2-3...
