5 Select the correct answer Jacob is solving the equation below using successive approximations 2 4 3 2 He started from a graph where he found the solution to be between 1 and 2 Using the lower and upper bounds from the graph Jacob did the following work for the first iteration Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Rewrite the equation so that it equals zero on one side 2 4 3 2 2 4 3 2 0 Evaluate the rewritten equation at the lower and upper bounds To find the solution that lies between 1 and 2 set these values as the lower and upper bounds while finding the solution 20 4 3 2 0 333 22 4 3 2 2 1 889 Take the average of the lower and upper bounds 1 2 2 1 2 4 3 2 0 636 Evaluate the rewritten equation at z Since this value is positive replace the previous lower bound so that and z 2 the bounds are now z
