Thread: Newtons Method Help??

write down an equation g(x) such that its root g(x) = 0 occurs when x = 7^(1/3). Differentiate it to obtain g’(x). I dont understand how to do this....

it also says while e < 10^(–5)

Any thoughts?

You are misreading the question. It certainly does NOT say "the equation g(x)" because "g(x)" is not an equation. Also you cannot mean that g(x)= 0 is a solution of an equation because the solution of an equation is a number, not another equation.

You mean that is a root of the equation g(x)= 0. Take the third power of each side: and then . Can you differentiate that?

Shoot.... i didnt even think about that. That was a dumb move lol what does the epislom stuff mean???

and yes i can
