8 Sketch graphs of 𝑦 = 5𝑥, and 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 using the same axes. Hence, show that
the equation 𝑒 𝑥 − 5𝑥 = 0 has exactly two real roots 𝛼 and 𝛽, where 𝛼 < 𝛽.
[3 marks]
Verify that 2 < 𝛽 < 3. [2 marks]
1
(a) Approximate value for 𝛼 is 0.2. The iterative formula 𝑎𝑛+1 = 𝑒 𝑎𝑛 is
5
used to find a more accurate approximation for 𝛼. Taking 𝑎1 = 0.2 use
the iterative formula to obtain 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 , 𝑎4 , 𝑎5 giving your answers to
four decimal places. [5 marks]

(b) The Newton-Raphson method is used to find a more accurate

approximation for 𝛽 . Taking 𝛽 = 2.5 , apply the Newton-Raphson
method once to obtain a second approximation, giving your answer to
three decimal places. [3 marks]

(c) Explain why ln 5 is not suitable as a first approximation to find 𝛽

using the Newton-Raphson method. [2 marks]

Solution:

𝑦 = 𝑒𝑥

D1
(both graphs with correct shapes)
D1
(two points of intersection shown)

There are only two points of intersection between the graphs 𝑦 = 5𝑥 and 𝑦 =
𝑒 𝑥 . Hence, the equation 𝑒 𝑥 − 5𝑥 = 0 has exactly two real roots 𝛼 and 𝛽,
where 𝛼 < 𝛽. B1
Let (𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥 − 5𝑥 ,
𝑓(2) = 𝑒 2 − 5(2) = −2.61 < 0
𝑓(3) = 𝑒 3 − 5(3) = 5.09 > 0 M1
Since 𝑓(𝑥) is a continuous function and there is a change of sign between
𝑓(2) and 𝑓(3), hence 2 < 𝛽 < 3. A1

𝑎4 = 5 𝑒 0.2553 = 0.2582 A1

𝑎5 = 5 𝑒 0.2582 = 0.2589 A1

(b) Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥 − 5𝑥

𝑓′(𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥 − 5 B1

Taking 𝑥1 = 2.5 ,
𝑒 2.5 −5(2.5)
𝑥2 = 2.5 − 𝑒 2.5 −5
= 2.544 (3 d.p.) M1A1

(c) If 𝑥1 = ln 5, then 𝑓′(ln 5) = 5 − 5 = 0

To use the Newton-Raphson formula,

𝑓(ln 5)
𝑥2 = 𝑥1 −
𝑓′(ln 5)

where 𝑥2 is undefined as 𝑓′(ln 5) = 0 B1

Therefore, ln 5 is not suitable as a first approximation to find 𝛽 using

the Newton-Raphson method. A1
