Solution of Equations: Newton's Method
Elementary Methods:
a) factoring b) completing squares c) quadratic formula
x= -b+Vb? -4ac
2a
d) synthetic division
Newton's Method: it can be made to yield a root to any desired degree of accuracy;
it is useful in obtaining approximations to imaginary roots, as
well as real roots of equations.
Formula:
Let f(x) = 0
y = f(x)
*x2 = X- f(x)
f'(x1)
steps: to find the roots using Newton's method
1) assign values of x to solve for y
2) plot the two consecutive points whose ordinates one is positive and the
other is negative
3) join the two points, taking the value of x where the line crosses the
x=axis as the first approximation for x(x1)
4) to find the other approximation for x use formula * until the difference
between the two consecutive approximations are nearly negligible.
Note:
X = first approximation of x (from the graph)
f(x1) = the value of f(x) at x = x1
f'(x) = the value of the first derivative of the function of x at x = x
