题目
(a) By sketching a suitable pair of graphs, show that the equation has exactly one root in the interval .
(b) Show by calculation that the root is in the interval .
(c) Use the iterative formula to calculate the root correct to decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to decimal places.
题目中文翻译
(a) 通过画出合适的两个函数图像的草图,证明方程 在区间 内恰有一个根。
(b) 通过计算证明这个根位于区间 内。
(c) 使用迭代公式 计算这个根,答案精确到小数点后 位。每次迭代的结果保留小数点后 位。
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。

Sketch and for .
The cotangent curve decreases from to , crosses the axis at , and has vertical asymptotes at the interval endpoints.
The other curve starts towards , rises to its maximum at , then falls towards .
On the first curve strictly decreases and the second strictly increases. Their ordering reverses, so they intersect exactly once.
On , while , with no equality between the two curves. For ,
Thus there is no further intersection. Therefore the equation has in the given interval.
