Find the first four iterates of the function f(x) = (x - 5)2 with an initial value of x0 = 4.
1 answer:
Answer:
b. 1; 16; 121; 13,456
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable calculator or spreadsheet can compute these for you.
Put the value of x into the formula to find the first iterate. Repeat for successive iterates.
_____
<em>Comment on the answer choices</em>
You can eliminate the first two answer choices because none of the numbers 19, 645, 12645 are perfect squares. You can eliminate the last answer choice because the first term listed is x0, not x1.
