Solve the problem.Use Newton's method to estimate the solutions of the equation . Start with  for the right-hand solution and with x0 = -2 for the solution on the left. Then, in each case find x2.

What will be an ideal response?


f(x) = 3x2 + 4x - 1, f'(x) = 6x + 4

Right-hand solution:

 x= 0.5
xn + 1 = xn -  = 
therefore x2 = 0.2500

Left-hand solution:

 x= -2
xn + 1 = xn -  = 
therefore x2 = -1.6250
