Problem
Perform the numerical calculation done in Example 4.3 and show that the two calculations clearly diverge by n=39. Next, let the second initial value agree to within another factor of 10 (i.e., 0.700 000 000 1), and confirm the statement in the text that only four more iterations are gained in the agreement between the two initial values.
