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) = 4x2 + 2x - 5, f'(x) = 8x + 2
Right-hand solution:
x1 = 0.5
xn + 1 = xn - =
therefore x2 = 1.0000
Left-hand solution:
x1 = -2
xn + 1 = xn - =
therefore x2 = -1.5000
