Turning Points

4. (a) Using calculus, find the exact coordinates of the turning points on the curve with equation y= f(x).
   (b) Show that the equation f(x) = 0 can be written as x = ± 4/5 e^–x
   The equation f(x) = 0 has a root a , where a = 0.5 to 1 decimal place.
   (c) Starting with x₀ = 0.5, use the iteration formula x_n+1 = 4/5 e^-x_n
   to calculate the values of x₁, x₂ and x₃, giving your answers to 3 decimal places.
   (d) Give an accurate estimate for a to 2 decimal places, and justify your answer.
