c3 coursework.

It's not as if I need help from an expert. I only wanted some questions answered by people who have done it before. I don't see what the problem is actually because the title is obviously good enough and every single board does the same c3 coursework.

post your question clearly, with no inaccuracies, and nothing relevant missed out.

This forum is for discussing mathematics, and the guidelines specifically say to



If, instead, you want to post in such a way that it only makes sense to people doing the exam, then the Maths Exams forum would be more appropriate.

As far as "needing an expert", I confess I have no idea what the expectations are for C3, but in the "real world" where people use N-R, the most common failure cases have nothing to do with the derivative equalling 0. (And at least one link for the C3 coursework also has failures other than the derivative = 0 one).

The only other failures I can think of would be where the derivative is close to 0 and so it ends up finding a different root than the starting value would suggest it would find, or an asymptote problem where it looks like it's converging but really it's getting nowhere, or maybe the estimates would somehow get stuck in a loop going to and from two different places back and forth. Or something you can't differentiate obviously.
