The function h(x)=ex−2xh(x)=e^{x}-2x is defined and continuous on the interval [0,2][0,2]. (i) Compute the average value of hh on [0,2][0,2]. (ii) Show that the equation h(c)=hˉh(c)=\bar h has exactly one solution in (0,2)(0,2). Explain why no other solution can occur. (iii) Using a suitable numerical method, refine the value of cc correct to three decimal places. Show all iterative steps used.
