Guess of z=0 is good, apply Newton's method on it: z = 0 - f(0)/f'(0) = 2^(-k)/(1-k*2^(-k-1)) = 1/(2^k-k/2) x = z/(1-z) = 1/(2^k-k/2-1) With almost no snow (k≈1) , we have x → inf Or, matching above form: x = 1/(2^k-2 - c*(k-1)) We already shown k=2 ⇒ x = φ-1 ≈ 0.618 This suggested c = 2-1/x = 2-1/(φ-1) = 2-φ ≈ 0.382 The fit is pretty good Note: table is minutes between snow started and snowplow started, for different k's lua> fmt = function(...) print(('%.3g\t%.3g\t%.3g'):format(...)) end lua> for k=1.25,5,0.25 do fmt(k, 60*snowplow(k), 60/(2^k-2-0.382*(k-1))) end 1.25 212 212 1.5 94.1 94.1 1.75 55.7 55.7 2 37.1 37.1 2.25 26.3 26.3 2.5 19.5 19.5 2.75 14.8 14.8 3 11.5 11.5 3.25 9.04 9.02 3.5 7.2 7.18 3.75 5.79 5.77 4 4.69 4.67 4.25 3.82 3.8 4.5 3.12 3.11 4.75 2.57 2.56 5 2.12 2.11 |
