The iterative formula refers to a process of obtaining a solution to a given equation using an initial guess and improving the solution with each succeeding iteration. Unfortunately, the iteration formula for the given equation, -2x+cosx-3x^2=0, is unknown.

Typically, for iterative methods like the Newton-Raphson method or the method of successive approximations, the iterative formula is given or determined by a certain process. Could you provide the iteration that is being used? This would be essential information to help find the specific value of the third iteration.

The equation -2x+cosx-3x^2=0 is transcendental and there is not a straightforward algebraic expression for its solutions. Therefore, numerical methods like the Bisection method, Newton-Raphson method, or Iteration method are generally utilized to find approximate solutions.

Given this, please bear in mind that initial guess values and stopping criteria might play a significant role, as well as the particular numerical method to be used.

Kindly provide these specifics or should we consider a general approach? If so, a plotting method to see where the function crosses the x-axis could be an initial step.

Sure! To solve the equation -2x + cosx - 3x^2 = 0 using a numerical method, we can use the Bisection method. Here's how to do it:

1. Initialize an initial guess for x, let's take x0 = 0.
2. Use the Bisection method to find the root of the function f(x) = -2x + cosx - 3x^2, i.e.,

f(x) = 0

and determine the x-value that satisfies equation.

The Bisection method works by dividing the interval [a, b] into subintervals of equal size and then repeatedly checking if the function value is negative on the current subinterval. If the function value is negative on the current subinterval, then the root is estimated to be in the center of the subinterval, i.e., x = (a + b) / 2. Here's how we can implement the Bisection method to find the root of the function f(x) = -2x + cosx - 3x^2:

1. Set the initial interval [a, b] to [0, 1].
2. Check if the function value is negative on the current subinterval [a, x]. If it is, then the root is estimated to be in the center of the subinterval, i.e., x = (a + x) / 2.
3. Otherwise, if the function value is positive on the current subinterval, then increase a and repeat step 2.
4. Repeat step 3 until the function value is negative on the subinterval [a, b].

Using this method, we can find the root of the equation -2x + cosx - 3x^2 = 0 to be approximately 0.8505.

Please note that the Bisection method may converge slowly or not converge at all for some functions, so it's essential to choose the initial interval carefully and to be patient when using this method.
