(a) Use Newton’s method with x1 = 1 to find the root of the equation x3 − x = 1 correct to six decimal places.
(b) Solve the equation in part (a) using x1 = 0.6 as the initial approximation.
(c) Solve the equation in part (a) using x1 = 0.57.
(You definitely need a programmable calculator for this part.)
(d) Graph f(x) = x3 − x − 1 and its tangent lines at x1 = 1, 0.6, and 0.57 to explain why Newton’s method is so sensitive to the value of the initial approximation.

- Explain why Newton's method doesn't work for finding the root of the equation x3 − 3x + 1 = 0 if the initial approximation is chosen to be x1 = 1. f(x) = x3 − 3x + 1 ⇒ f '(x) = . If x1 = 1, then f '(x1) =arrow_forwardfind a real root of the equation xe^x-2=0 using Newton's methodarrow_forwardConsider the equation x^3=1-2x, which has a unique root between x=0 and x=1. Apply Newton's method twice to approximate the solution if you use the initial approximation x0=1. Round each approximation to five decimal places. (You need to find x1 and x2)arrow_forward

- plss solve within 20mins Shinichi Kudo discovered a dead body in a room at midnight with a temperature of 20oC. Since the guest house where the room was located is far from the town, Inspector Megure arrived one hour, 34 minutes and 28 seconds later, and the temperature of the dead body dropped to 18oC. Shinichi noticed that the room temperature is kept constant at 16oC. By recalling some differential equations he learned from the Professor, he was able to estimate the time of death of the corpse. When did the victim died? Express your answer in HH:MM format. 8:14 PM 6:23 PM 9:30 PM 7:15 PMarrow_forwardAt 1:00 p.m. a thermometer reading 10°F is removed from a freezer and placed in a room whose temperature is 65°F. At 1:05 p.m., the thermometer reads 25°F. Later, the thermometer is placed back in the freezer. At 1:30 p.m., the thermometer reads 32°F. When was the thermometer returned to the freezer and what was the thermometer reading at that time?
