**Problem Statement: Approximation of a Root Using Newton's Method**

Use Newton's method to approximate a root of the equation \( e^{0.5x^2} = 4 - x \) as follows. Let \( x_1 = 1 \) be the initial approximation.

1. **Second Approximation (\( x_2 \))**:
   - [Text Box for Input]

2. **Third Approximation (\( x_3 \))**:
   - [Text Box for Input]

**Instructions:**

Using Newton's method involves the following iterative formula:
\[ x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)} \]

- Define the function \( f(x) = e^{0.5x^2} - 4 + x \).
- Derive the function \( f'(x) \).
- Start with the initial guess \( x_1 = 1 \).
- Calculate \( x_2 \) and \( x_3 \) using the iterative formula. Enter your results in the provided text boxes.

For a detailed understanding, check the solutions after attempting the calculations.
