1-Solve the below equation to get (range 24 to 32) value at = 35 by

fixed point iteration
f ( ) = R1 cos - R2 cos + R3 - cos ( - )
Where R1 = 5/3 , R2 = 5/2 & R3 = 11/6
2- Check on value of g ( )
3- Comment on the rate of convergence.

Solution
See attached excel sheet for detailed calculation of
below equations and values.
= cos-1 ( 1 / R2 [ R1 cos + R3 - cos ( - ) ] )

So, = 28.072224
2- g ( ) = 0.103615
g ( ) = 0.102526

at = 28

(First iteration )

at = 28.072224 (First iteration )

3- Error for first iteration 0.231

For 2nd iteration 0.0238
For 3rd iteration 0.00244

.
For 8th iteration 0.000000028

Error percentage is reduced by about the one tenth after each

iteration which is too fast than Bisection method
