1. Employ the Newton-Raphson method to determine a real root for f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 - 10 using an initial guess of x_0 = 5.0000. Perform the computation until \epsilon_a \leq 0.0001%. Abs Error = ((Xr_{new} - Xr_{old}) / Xr_{new})*100%. Please show sample computations for the 1st 3 iterations for X variables and the last 3 iterations for the Abs error computations. 2. Use secant method to determine a root of f(x) = x^4 - x - 10 with initial guesses of x_{-1} = 1 and x_0 = 2.0. Perform the computation until \epsilon_a \leq 0.0001%. Abs Error = ((Xr_{new} - Xr_{old}) / Xr_{new})*100%. Please show sample computations for the 1st 3 iterations for X variables and the last 3 iterations for the Abs error computations.

Using the Newton-Raphson method, find the approximate root of the equation f(x) = x^3 - 2x + 1 = 0 in the interval [0, 0.99] with less than 10^-2 errors. Use x = 0 as the starting point? (Perform 4 iterations)

Using the Newton-Raphson method, find the root of f (x) = e-x-x. Use x1 = 0.000 as the starting point. Make 4 iterations. Find the relative error. Calculate 3 digits. Iteration No Xi Xi+1 Error (%)

Finding roots with Newton's method For the given function f and initial approximation $x_{0},$ use Newton's method to approximate a root of $f .$ Stop calculating approximations when two successive approximations agree to five digits to the right of the decimal point after rounding. Show your work by making a table similar to that in Example 1. $$f(x)=x^{2}-10 ; x_{0}=3$$
