(a) Calculate

 

     (i) the percentage of the formulae the student is able to recall at the time of writing the examination;

 

     (ii) the percentage of the formulae the student is able to recall four weeks after writing the examination.

 

 

(b) Show, using the Intermediate Value Theorem, that the student is able to recall exactly 30% of the formulae she crammed for the examination between 4 and 10 weeks of writing the examination.

 

 

(c) Apply three iterations of the Secant Method, with  and  in order to approximate when the student will be able to recall exactly 30% of the formulae she crammed for the exam.
