Question
Given the graph of $y=f(x),$ draw in the tangent lines used in Newton's method to determine $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ after starting at $x_{0}=2 .$ Which of the zeros will Newton's method converge to?FIGURE CANT COPY
Step 1
Draw a tangent line to the curve $y=f(x)$ at the point $(2, f(2))$. This line will intersect the $x$-axis at some point, which we will call $x_{1}$. Show more…

We explore the convergence of Newton's method for $f(x)=x^{3}-3 x^{2}+2 x$ The zeros of $f$ are $x=0, x=1$ and $x=2 .$ Determine which of the three zeros Newton's method iterates converge to for (a) $x_{0}=0.1,$ (b) $x_{0}=1.1$ and $(\mathrm{c}) x_{0}=2.1$

Linear Approximations and Newton's Method
Suppose that the graph of the function $f(x)$ has slope -2 at the point $(1,2) .$ If the Newton-Raphson algorithm is used to find a root of $f(x)=0$ with the initial guess $x_{0}=1,$ what is $x_{1} ?$

The Newton–Raphson Algorithm
Let $f(x)=2 x^{3}-6 x^{2}+4 x .$ Use Newton's method to find $x_{1}$ given that $x_{0}=1.4 .$ Use the graph of $f$ (see figure) and an appropriate tangent line to illustrate how $x_{1}$ is obtained from $x_{0}$. (GRAPHS CANNOT COPY)
