Hello, fair_lady0072002!
I'll do the second part . . . it's trickier.
And I believe there's an extra "4" is the answer . . .
Consider the function:
(b) Show that for this function, the Newton- Raphson method formula
can be expressed as: .? for
Formula: .
I'm going to drop the subscripts (temporarily) . . .
We have: .
Then: .
Multiply top and bottom of the fraction by
Get a common denominator: .
}{x - 4} \;= \;\frac{x^2 - 4x - x^2 + 4x\ln x}{x - 4} \;=)
Factor: .
Hello again, fair_lady0072002!
I hope this suffices as a solution . . .
Consider the function:
Show that the equationhas a solution in the interval (1,2)
It can shown thatis continuous for all
We find that: .
. . . . . . and: .
Since the continuous function changes from positive to negative over the interval,
. . it must achieve
