Consider the following equations.
Approximate the solution to the equation
using three iterations of successive approximation. Use the graph as a starting point.
Graph shows upward parabola and polynomial function on a coordinate plane. The parabola has vertex at (1.5, minus 4) with left and right slopes at (minus 0.5, 0) and (3.5, 0). A curve enters quadrant 3 and goes through (minus 2, 0) and (0, minus 6).
What is the approximate value for the solution to the equation
?
