4. Let f(x)=-5x4 - 2x² + 4x +14. (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. g(x,-1) [Give the formula in the form x. where g(x-1) and h(x,-1) are polynomial functions.] h(x-1) (c) 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, estimate the value of a correct to 4 decimal places. 0
