7. [2 marks] Use Newton's method to determine the largest zero of $f(x) = 2.12x + e^{0.47x^2} - 6.18$, accurate to three decimal places. In your working section, provide evidence for how you selected the starting value that will lead to the correct zero, and you must show full working for the first two iterations.

Step 1
One way to do this is by looking at the graph of the function and estimating where the zero might be. Another way is to use a method like the bisection method or the Newton-Raphson method, which require an initial guess. Let's say we want to find the zero of the Show moreā¦
