Solve the problem.Use Newton's method to estimate the solutions of the equation
. Start with
for the right-hand solution and with x0 = -1.5 for the solution on the left. Then, in each case find x2.
What will be an ideal response?
f(x) = , f'(x) = 12x3 + 2
Right-hand solution:
x1 = 1
xn + 1 = xn - =
therefore x2 = 1.0000
Left-hand solution:
x1 = -1.5
xn + 1 = xn - =
therefore x2 = -1.3133
