Question:
Draw the graph of f (x) = x4 - 2x2, [-2, 2] by [-2, 2]. The function has zeros at x = -√2, x = 0, and x = √2. By looking at the graph, guess which zero will be approached when you apply the Newton–Raphson algorithm to each of the following initial approximations:
(a) x0 = 1.1
(b) x0 = .95
(c) x0 = .9
Then, test your guesses by actually carrying out the computations.
