原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

Let . Then
Since is continuous, it has a root between and . Also on this interval, so the root there is unique. Thus .
(c)
解法一
思路

The iterates are:
| to 4 decimal places | |
|---|---|
| 0 | 2.5000 |
| 1 | 2.7537 |
| 2 | 2.8089 |
| 3 | 2.8192 |
| 4 | 2.8210 |
| 5 | 2.8214 |
| 6 | 2.8214 |
Hence to 2 decimal places.
