Question:
The figure shows the graph of a function f . Suppose that Newton’s method is used to approximate the solution s of the equation f(x) = 0 with initial approximation x1 = 6.
(a) Draw the tangent lines that are used to find x2 and x3, and estimate the numerical values of x2 and x3.
(b) Would x1 = 8 be a better first approximation? Explain.
