The above equation has three roots as shown in the above graph

The first assumption:
x0 = 0.3 and then we do four iterations x1, x2, x3 and x4.
The second assumption:
x0 = 0.26 and then we do four iterations x1, x2, x3 until we reach x20.
The third assumption:
x0 = 0.28 and then we do four iterations x1, x2, x3 until we reach x6.
