Consider the function f(x) = cos x − 3x + 1. Since ƒ (0)ƒ () <0. f(x) has a root in [0]. 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 the value of x, such that Xn estimates the root of (x) = cos x - 3x + 1 to three significant digits? (Answer must be in 8 decimal places)
