Explain why Newton's method doesn't work for finding the root of the equation

x3 − 3x + 3 = 0

if the initial approximation is chosen to be 

x1 = 1.
f(x) = x3 − 3x + 3   ⇒   f '(x) = 
 
 
 
 .
 If 
x1 = 1,
 then 
f '(x1) = 
 
 
 
 and the tangent line used for approximating 
x2
 is  ---Select--- horizontal vertical . Attempting to find 
x2
 results in trying to  ---Select--- divide multiply by zero.
