Teaching Strategies Starter:- Solve the following equation:- x3 – 3x + 1 = 0 Graph T & I How many solutions?
Teaching Strategies 1) Now consider a Quadratic by factorisation.e.g. x2 - 5x + 6 = 0, giving x = 2 & 3 (two solutions) 2) Draw the graph to show the roots at 2 & 3 3) Rearrange the quadratic equation to make the ‘x’ which is squared as the subject of the formula. Hence x = √(5x – 6) 4) To create an iteration we need to make the two x values different. Therefore we make the iteration:- xn+1 = √(5xn – 6) 5) Substitute in the first value (say x1 = 4) into the iteration, then keep recycling your answer. Converges to 3 (one of the roots) [Sometimes the first approx is called x0]
x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 xn+1 = √(5xn – 6) 6) What happens if we start with x1 = 1? 7) Rearrange the original quadratic to make the middle ‘x’ as the subject. Hence x = (x2 + 6) /5 or the new iteration:- xn+1 = (x2n + 6) /5 8) Substitute in x1 = 1, but this time enter ‘1’ then push the ‘=‘ button. Now set up your calculator display as follows:- (ANS2 + 6) /5 Repeatedly pushing the ‘=‘ button works out the iterations for x2 , x3 , x4 , etc. (Converges to the second root 2) This process also works for harder equations which are not quadratics. e.g.) x3 equations (Cubics) etc.
