For example sing the same rearrangement of the equation to find the root between 5 and 6 using 5 as
the starting point, the iterations converge on the root between 1 and 2. Can you get an A in A-Level
Maths just by working hard. This process is then repeated on the new x values until they converge on
the root to the required level of accuracy. In this case, would you re-arrange until you find a suitable
iteration formula that works. The fact that the solution lies between -3 and -4 can also be seen in the
graph. With the use of excel, it is every easy to write down the formula of the method in one cell and
dragging it down as many cells as you wish to (the number of iterations) and it is very easy to use.
This allowed me to work out that the three roots were between the integers of -4 and 1. This is
because the tangent crosses the asymptote, as shown below. The value of g(x) at this point is then
taken as the next guess and this process is repeated to converge on the root. Regarding the speed the
convergence, this is by far the fastest to converge to the root and it is also the method which fails the
least out of the three different methods. So using the Re- arrangement method to solve f(x), I find
that the root is - 1.961703555. With the use of AutoGraph Software, It is even easier as you don’t
even have to work out the gradient function. Then we look at where the tangent crosses the X axis
and that value will be the new x value on the graph for a tangent. However the need for much
manual computation can make the process quite laborious and time consuming. This makes it very
easy to work out the repetitive part of the method and makes the speed of convergence much faster.
Care must be taken when choosing a starting value and asymptotes can cause the method to fail. This
allowed me to work out that the three real roots of the function were between the integers of -1 and
7. So the only human interaction needed is to look at the results and manually looking at between
which two points (limits) there is a sign change and then setting the new limits as such. Below is the
Excel spread sheet with f(x n ) and its derivative, f’(x) shown. This is when the equation would have
been solved by using the quadratic formula, completing the square or by factorising it. As for the
speed of convergence, it would be slower that Newton Raphson because of the extra time needed to
re-arrange the equation but it is faster than Decimal search. But regarding the speed of convergence,
this is relatively low as it is not completely automated and requires human interaction after each set
of results and is very repetitive. Below is the Excel spread sheet with f(x n ) and its derivative, f’(x)
shown. Most of the mistakes are made in this stage by humans. I don't quite understand why the
question added the word negative in there when the root is located between a negative interval. With
the use of excel, it can be really easy to work out the values of y when you sub in the x values. So I
used the formula to work out the values in excel. This shows that generally the Newton-Raphson
method has a much quicker speed of convergence than the other two methods. To start the process,
we have to select two points on the graph visual basis. The value of g'(x) at this point is far greater
than 1, so the iterations do not converge.
In some cases you may not be able to differentiate f(x). As for the speed of convergence, it would be
slower that Newton Raphson because of the extra time needed to re-arrange the equation but it is
faster than Decimal search. Hopefully you should be able to get the value of the root starting from
anywhere - if you find it's not converging, first try a couple of different starting points, then try a
new iteration. If that g’(x) 1, then we know that the function will not converge to the root but will
diverge away. In some cases you may not be able to differentiate f(x). The diagram above shows that
the gradient of g(x) is within this range at the root which is found. This makes it very easy to work
out the repetitive part of the method and makes the speed of convergence much faster. The mark
scheme re-arranged to get a different iteration formula and got an approximation as 1.653 to 3
decimal places. Is this correct (and could you explain some of these higher-level concepts or would
they not make sense to me fully with the current knowledge I have? (A-level maths only) -------
Also, my other question is the following: a) show that the equation x 3. Most of the mistakes are
made in this stage by humans. This shows that generally the Newton-Raphson method has a much
quicker speed of convergence than the other two methods. In this case, would you re-arrange until
you find a suitable iteration formula that works. The value of g'(x) at this point is far greater than 1,
so the iterations do not converge. Also, my other question is the following: a) show that the equation
x 3. The Decimal search method enables you to get a very close approximate to the real solution but
more easily. Annoying Red Cheeks urgent query, I would really appreciate your help. For this
method, I will be using a different function to the other two. Using Autograph is much, much simpler
as you have the ability to zoom in on the point where the signs change, i.e. the point on the X-axis,
and can do so to many places. Some computer programs, such as Autograph, can carry out the
iterations for you, which, if they are available to you, can make it easier to use than a decimal search.
To start the process, we have to select two points on the graph visual basis. A decimal search, in
contrast, just requires calculations, which can easily be done using a computer. Out of the three,
some are faster at converging to the root that others and some are easier to use than others, especially
with the recent technology made available to everyone. I repeat this until I get down to increments
the size of 0.00001. But whichever bit of software you use, it is hands down the easier way of
finding the roots of an equation. This process is then repeated on the new x values until they
converge on the root to the required level of accuracy. Care must be taken when choosing a starting
value and asymptotes can cause the method to fail. Some computer programs, such as Autograph,
can carry out the iterations for you, which, if they are available to you, can make it easier to use than
a decimal search. It must still be rearranged manually though, and a large proportion of
rearrangements fail. Depending on your calcularor, you should get there after about 5 iterations. The
error bounds show that this works as there is a change of sign.
Using Autograph is much, much simpler as you have the ability to zoom in on the point where the

Below is the Excel spread sheet with f(x n ) and its derivative, f’(x) shown. This makes it even easier
than excel but it is less accurate as it only gives the root to 3 decimal places where as excel can be
configured to as many decimal places as needed. Looking at the graph you can see that the root is
between -2 and -1. This makes it very easy to work out the repetitive part of the method and makes
the speed of convergence much faster. Below is the Excel spread sheet with f(x n ) and its derivative,
f’(x) shown. OR did they add the word negative in there so the re-arrangement of the equation
would be correct so you don't take the square root of a negative number? (edited 9 years ago) 0

best to re-arrange by having the dominant term on it's own first and go from there. This is the only

The mark scheme re-arranged to get a different iteration formula and got an approximation as 1.653

method is very simple with the use of the formula. It's more precise than that, but it means that for the
right kinds of iteration, repeating the iteration will bring your starting point closer and closer to that
fixed point. This is because the tangent crosses the asymptote, as shown below. So using the Re-

Some methods give you the exact and precise answer but usually are harder and more complex. To

then on, it repeats. But regarding the speed of convergence, this is relatively low as it is not

Compared to the change of sign method both are generally more easy to use as once the initial
formula has been entered it is very quick and simple to do the iterations many times. However the

downside of the method is that it is the most likely method of all three to fail as there is always a
chance that when you rearrange an equation and start the iterative process, it will not converge to the
root but it will diverge away. The value of g'(x) at this point is far greater than 1, so the iterations do
not converge. For example sing the same rearrangement of the equation to find the root between 5
and 6 using 5 as the starting point, the iterations converge on the root between 1 and 2. To start the
process, we have to select two points on the graph visual basis. But after the 4 th iteration, we have
reached a point where the x value started repeating due to the fact that this was to 4 decimal places.
Taking x 0 as the first guess at the root, the tangent to the curve at (x 0,f(x 0 )) crosses the x axis at x
