Let positive real numbers a not equal to 2 and b not equal to 12. Consider the function: f(x) = a²x4 - 6abx² - 11b² Find intervals of positive initial guesses [c, d], where d>c> 0, for which Newton's Method: (i) converges to the positive root (ii) converges to the negative root (iii) is defined but does not converge to any root. Explain your answer.
