Newton's Method: A Computer Project
Beginning of paper
Newton's Method is used to find the root of an equation provided that
the function f[x] is equal to zero. Newton Method is an equation created before
the days of calculators and was used to find approximate roots to numbers. The
roots of the function are where the function crosses the x axis. T ....
Middle of paper
.... sometimes cannot be found is because when the function is
equal to zero, there is no slope to the tangent line.
As seen in experimentation's, it is important to select an initial guess
close to the root because some functions have multiple roots. Failure to choose
an initial value that is close to the root could result in finding a the wrong
root or wasting a lot of time doing multiple iterations while getting close to
the actual root.
On some occasions, the program cannot find a root to a ....
