Consider the function f(x) = cos x − 3x + 1. Since ƒ (0)ƒ (-) < 0, ƒ (x) has a root in [0, 1]. To solve f(x) = 0 using fixed-point method, we may consider the equivalent equation x = = (1 + cos x). Let g(x) = (1 + cos x). Since [g'(0)| < 1, the fixed-point iteration x₂ = g(xn-1), with xo = 0, will converge. What is x4? (Answer must be in 8 decimal places)

Consider the function f(x) = cos x − 3x + 1. Since ƒ (0)ƒ (-) < 0, ƒ (x) has a root in
[0, 1]. To solve f(x) = 0 using fixed-point method, we may consider the equivalent
equation x = = (1 + cos x). Let g(x) = (1 + cos x). Since [g'(0)| < 1, the fixed-point
iteration x₂ = g(xn-1), with xo = 0, will converge. What is x4? (Answer must be in 8
