Iteration
Showing a solution lies in an interval by a change of sign, rearranging into the form x = g(x), using an iteration formula (also with xₙ more than once), growth and decay, finding a solution to a given accuracy and checking it…
🧮 ToolIteration: Staircase and Cobweb Diagrams
Explore: type any iteration formula and starting value (or drag x₀ along the axis) and draw its staircase or cobweb diagram one step at a time, with the iterates in a table and on the axis, and in words what happens: converging…
