Use Newton''s method to find the second and third approximation of a root of x^3 + x + 3= 0 starting with x1 = -1 as the initial approximation. The second approximation is x2= ?
The third approximation is x3= ?

Step-by-step explanation:

The iterator for Newton's method gives the next approximation (x') as ...

  x' = x -g(x)/g'(x) . . . . . where g'(x) is the derivative of g(x)

We have defined g(x) = x^3+x+3, the function we want the zero of. We have defined the iteration function to be f(x).

Additional comment

Modern graphing calculators not only make the iteration trivially simple, they also give a first approximation good to 2 or 3 decimal places in many cases.

There is no question so ask again clearly..
