Derivatives: Newtons Method, Help!?

0 votes

1)Use Newtos Method to approximate the root of the equation: 
X^3=100x+220 
Start with x0=12 and preform 3 iterations, ie, find x1-x2 and x3 
Calculate Ix0-x1I, Ix1-x2I, and Ix3-x2I 
Used Newtons Method x_n+1=x_n-(x_n)/f1(x_n)

The function f(x) = x3 - 100x  - 220

f'(x) = 3x2 - 100

Newtons method iterative formula : image

x0 = 12

f(x0) = x03 - 100x0 - 220

= (12)3 - 100(12) - 220 = 1728 - 1200 - 220

f(x0) = 308

f'(x0) = 3x02 - 100

= 3(12)2 - 100 = 3(144) - 100

f'(x0) = 332

x1  = 12 - (308/332) = 12 - 0.9277

x1  = 11.07

 

f(x1) = x13 - 100x1 - 220

= (11.07)3 - 100(11.07) - 220 = 1356.57 - 1107 - 220

f(x1) = 29.57

f'(x1) = 3x12 - 100

= 3(11.07)2 - 100 = 367.63  - 100

f'(x1) = 267.63

x2  = 11.07 - (29.57/267.63) = 11.07 - 0.1104

x2  = 10.95

 

f(x2) = x23 - 100x2 - 220

= (10.95)3 - 100(10.95) - 220 = 1312.93 - 1095 - 220

f(x2) = - 2.07

f'(x2) = 3x22 - 100

= 3(10.95)2 - 100 = 359.70 - 100

f'(x2) = 259.70

x3 = 10.95 - (-2.07/259.70)

x3 = 10.9579

|x0 - x1| = |12 - 11.07| = 0.93

|x1 - x2| = |11.07 - 10.95| = 0.12

|x3 - x2| = |10.9579 - 10.95| = 0.0079.
