How to identify an iteration which is converges?

Random question for iteration
I received a Whatsapp message from student. He asked me whether the following shortcut is useful to determine whether the iteration is converges.

iteration formula

After research, the conclusion is the formula is useful only if you know the real root (the final answer).

According to Pelangi book (wrong)

If x=\alpha is an approximation to a root of the equation x=F(x), then sequence defined by x_{n+1}=F(x_n) with a starting value close to \alpha will converge to \alpha as long as |F'(\alpha)|<1.

The Real

If x=\alpha is a real root of the equation x=F(x), then sequence defined by x_{n+1}=F(x_n) with a starting value close to \alpha will converge to \alpha as long as |F'(\alpha)|<1.

I am not going to describe the proving in details. For more details, check here.

STPM Mathematics mock exam

Solution given by the teacher

Solution a

Iteration solution a

Solution b

solution b

Seriously, i wont suggest students to write this working in STPM exam. Even the F'(x) is more than 1, where x is the first estimate, the iterations still converge to the root in different situation. I will recommend sketched graph method.

Solution c

solution c
