Use Newton's method to approximate the root of the equation
x^3=33x+66
that belongs to the interval (4,8).
Start with x0=8 and perform three iterations, i.e., find x1, x2, and x3.
Calculate lx0−x1l lx1−x2l , and lx3−x2l .
Answers:
1. Use Newton's method
xn+1=xn− f(xn) / f (xn)
where the function f has a positive leading coefficient so that f(x)= x^3-33*x-66 .
x1=?
lx1−x0l=?
x2=?
lx2−x1l= ?
x3=?
lx3−x2l=?
