4. Let f(x)=-3x - x + 2x +11. (a) Show that the equation f(x) = 0 has a unique root a in (-2,-1]. (b) Find the Newton's iterative formula for solving the equation f(x)=0. [Give the formula in the form x g(x,-) where g(x,-1) and h(x-1) are polynomial functions.] h(x...) (e) Show that the sequence obtained by the iterative formula in (b) will converge to a for any initial guess x, in (-2,-1). (d) Hence, with x, =-1.5, estimate the value of a correct to 4 decimal places. (25 marks)
