Newtons Method and Halving the Interval

Q1.
(a) The equation x 3kx +1=0 has exactly one root between x = 0 and x = 1.
Show that k > 2
(b)The equation x 3kx +1=0 has a root m where 0 < m < 1. Starting with an
initial estimation m = 0.3, use one application of Newtons method to find a
second approximation to the value of m, giving the answer correct to two
decimal places

By halving the interval, solve the following equations:

a) ln x = cos x has a root between 1.2 and 1.4
b) sin x = x 1/2 between x = 0.5 and x = 1.8
