Question:

Take the equation f (x) Æ x2 Åx3 ¡1. Consider the problem of finding the root in [0,1].

(a) Start with the Newton method. Find the derivative f 0(x) and the iteration rule xi !xiÅ1.

(b) Starting with x1 Æ 1, apply the Newton iteration to find x2.

(c) Make a second Newton step to find x3.

(d) Now try the bisection method. Calculate f (0) and f (1). Do they have opposite signs?

(e) Calculate two bisection iterations.

(f ) Compare the Newton and bisection estimates for the root of f (x).
