The function is

1. let's factorize the expression

:

the zeros of f(x) are the values of x which make f(x) = 0.
from the factorized form of the function, we see that the roots are:
-3, multiplicity 1
3, multiplicity 1
0, multiplicity 3
(the multiplicity of the roots is the power of each factor of f(x) )
2.
The end behavior of f(x), whose term of largest degree is

, is the same as the end behavior of

, which has a well known graph. Check the picture attached.
(similarly the end behavior of an even degree polynomial, could be compared to the end behavior of

)
so, like the graph of

, the graph of

:
"As x goes to negative infinity, f(x) goes to negative infinity, and as x goes to positive infinity, f(x) goes to positive infinity. "
Answer:
The two iterations of f(x) = 1.5598
Step-by-step explanation:
If we apply Newton's iterations method, we get a new guess of a zero of a function, f(x), xₙ₊₁, using a previous guess of, xₙ.
xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - f(xₙ) / f'(xₙ)
Given;
f(xₙ) = cos x, then f'(xₙ) = - sin x
cos x / - sin x = -cot x
substitute in "-cot x" into the equation
xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - (- cot x)
xₙ₊₁ = xₙ + cot x
x₁ = 0.7
first iteration
x₂ = 0.7 + cot (0.7)
x₂ = 0.7 + 1.18724
x₂ = 1.88724
second iteration
x₃ = 1.88724 + cot (1.88724)
x₃ = 1.88724 - 0.32744
x₃ = 1.5598
To four decimal places = 1.5598
