Question

Determine iterates of f(x) = 1.x(1 – x)x0 = 0.8

Answer 1

f(0) = 1.5(0.8)(1 - 0.8)

Answer 2

Is there a formula for this?

Answer 3

i should have written f(0.8) not f(0)

Answer 4

Mhmm, it's a lot easier when simplified.

Answer 5

calculate the value for f(0.8)

Answer 6

How do I do that?

Answer 7

yes we could simplify first

1.5x(1 - x0
= 1.5x - 1.5x^2

f(0.8) = 1.5*0.8 - 1.5*0.8^2

Answer 8

sorry gotta go right now

Answer 9

Thanks anyway.
