Question

Use newton's method to approximate the solution to x^5-2=3x+1; find the third iteration using x1=1 as the initial guess.

Answer 1

ok first find
\[f(1)\]

Answer 2

then find
\[f'(x)\] to get
\[f'(1)\] and finally take
\[1-\frac{f(1)}{f'(1)}\] and that is your second estimate

Answer 3

dang what happened to my work?

Answer 4

Seeing it. Could you please elaborate?
