It seems that the iterative method for finding roots of the equations is not directly supported through the tools available. However, I can guide you through the process of using the iterative method (such as the Newton-Raphson method or fixed-point iteration) for each equation.

### 1. $$ \cos x = 3x - 1 $$

Rearranging gives:
$$
f(x) = \cos x - 3x + 1
$$
We can use the fixed-point iteration:
$$
x_{n+1} = \frac{\cos x + 1}{3}
$$

### 2. $$ \sin x = 10(x - 1) $$

Rearranging gives:
$$
f(x) = \sin x - 10(x - 1)
$$
Using fixed-point iteration:
$$
x_{n+1} = \frac{\sin x}{10} + 1
$$

### 3. $$ e^x = \cot x $$

Rearranging gives:
$$
f(x) = e^x - \cot x
$$
Using fixed-point iteration:
$$
x_{n+1} = \cot x
$$

### 4. $$ 1 + x^2 = x^3 $$

Rearranging gives:
$$
f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 1
$$
Using fixed-point iteration:
$$
x_{n+1} = \sqrt[3]{1 + x^2}
$$

### 5. $$ \sin^2 x = x^2 - 1 $$

Rearranging gives:
$$
f(x) = \sin^2 x - x^2 + 1
$$
Using fixed-point iteration:
$$
x_{n+1} = \sqrt{1 + x^2}
$$

### 6. $$ x = (5 - x)^{1/3} $$

This is already in a suitable form for fixed-point iteration:
$$
x_{n+1} = (5 - x)^{1/3}
$$

### Iterative Method Steps

1. Choose an initial guess $$ x_0 $$.
2. Compute $$ x_{n+1} $$ using the iteration formula.
3. Repeat until the change $$ |x_{n+1} - x_n| $$ is less than a specified tolerance (e.g., $$ 0.0001 $$).

### Example for $$ \cos x = 3x - 1 $$

1. Start with an initial guess, say $$ x_0 = 0 $$.
2. Calculate $$ x_1 = \frac{\cos(0) + 1}{3} = \frac{1 + 1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} $$.
3. Continue iterating until convergence.

To find real roots of the given equations using the iterative method, follow these steps for each equation: 1. **Rearrange the equation** to the form $$ f(x) = 0 $$. 2. **Choose an initial guess** $$ x_0 $$. 3. **Apply the iterative formula**: - For fixed-point iteration: $$ x_{n+1} = g(x_n) $$, where $$ g(x) $$ is derived from rearranging the equation. 4. **Iterate** until the change $$ |x_{n+1} - x_n| $$ is less than 0.0001. **Example for $$ \cos x = 3x - 1 $$:** - Rearranged: $$ f(x) = \cos x - 3x + 1 = 0 $$. - Iterative formula: $$ x_{n+1} = \frac{\cos x + 1}{3} $$. - Start with $$ x_0 = 0 $$, compute $$ x_1 = \frac{1 + 1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} $$, and continue until convergence. Repeat this process for each equation to find their roots accurate to four significant figures.
