Chapter 6, Problem 16P

(a) Apply the Newton-Raphson method to the function f ( x ) =  tanh ( x 2 9 ) to evaluate its known real root at x = 3 . Use an initial guess of x 0 = 3.2 and take a minimum of four iterations. (b) Did the method exhibit convergence onto its real root? Sketch the plot with the results for each iteration shown.

Solvef(x) =x2−xcos(x) +14−sin2(x)4= 0,withx0=π2.(1) Does Newton’s method converge quadratically to the rootr=r1∈[0,1]? If not, explain why?(2) Find the multiplicity of the rootr=r1off(x).(3) Write out the Modified Newton’s Method such that we havequadratical convergence.
Determine whether the following statement is true or false, and explain why. Newton’s method converges as long as there is a real root and the function is differentiable.
3. The function f(x) = xe=^(-x) has a unique root x = 0.(a) Compute several iterations of the Newton's method, and conclude that the methoddoes not succeed if x_0 > 1.(b) Draw graphs to illustrate the rst few iteration when x_0 = 0.5 and x_0 = 1.5.
