Provide an appropriate response.Show that if h > 0, applying Newton's method to f(x) = leads to x2 = h if x0 = h and to x2 = -h if x0 = -h when 0 < 8 < h.

What will be an ideal response?


f(x) = 

f '(x) = 

Let x0 = h. Then,
x1 = h -  = h - 2(h - 8) = 16 - h
x2 = 16 - h +  = 16 - h + 2(h - 8) = h

Likewise, let x0 = - h. Then,
x1 = - h +  = - h + 2(8 + h) = 16 + h
x2 = 16 + h -  = 16 + h - 2(h + 8) = - h
