The following Matlab code is being used to calculate 71/5 by fixed-point iterations.
Find and correct 3 mistakes
in that code.
g =
'p-(p^5-7)/12'
format long
exact = 7^.2;
p =
1;
error = abs(exact - p);
k =
0;
disp(' k
p error')
while k<50 & error<1e2 & error>1e-2
p = g(p);
error = abs(exact
- p);
end
print('%3d %12.9f %12.6e', k,p,error)
