Formula A is $x_{n+1}=\frac{x_n^2+3}{5}$ and formula B is $x_{n+1}=5-\frac{3}{x_n}$. Both are rearrangements of $x^2-5x+3=0$, and both are started with $x_0=1$. Which statement is correct? (Limits are given to 2 decimal places.)

• AA converges to 4.30 and B converges to 0.70
• BA converges to 0.70 and B converges to 4.30
• CA and B both converge to 0.70
• DA and B both converge to 4.30
