Suppose f has a real root r and Newton's method is used to approximate r with an initial approximation xo. The basin of attraction of r is the set of initial approximations that produce a sequence that converges to r. Points near r are often in the basin of attraction to r-but not always. Sometimes an initial approximation x may produce a sequence that doesn't converge, and sometimes an initial approximation x may produce a sequence that converges to a distant root. Let f(x)=(x+3)(x-2.5)(x-3.5), which has roots x = -3, 2.5, and 3.5. Use Newton's method with initial approximations on the interval [-4,4] and determine (approximately) the basin of each root.
