Numerical Methods 2a

The document contains a series of mathematical problems related to numerical methods, including finding roots of equations through iterative formulas. Each question requires showing certain properties of functions, calculating values to specified decimal places, and proving the accuracy of approximations. The problems involve functions like y = 2cos + x^3 - 3x - 2 and g(x) = e^(x-1) + x - 6.
