solve for x
0.115x3 - 2.069x2 + 18.612x -67 = 0
Given equation is whose roots we want to find
is its derivative
Using an initial point we use Newton's method to get the following table of iterates:
means
n | x | f(x) | f'(x) |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0.000000000 | -67.000000000 | 18.612 |
1 | 3.599828068 | -21.447007529 | 8.186684386 |
2 | 6.219570874 | -3.608516715 | 6.221072064 |
3 | 6.799618281 | 0.048266960 | 6.426188578 |
4 | 6.792107303 | 0.000015571 | 6.422048937 |
So we get the root as for which
