Question
Using Newton’s Method In Exercises 5–16, approximate the zero(s) of the function. Use Newton’s Method and continue the process until two successive approximations differ by less than 0.001. Then find the zero(s) using a graphing utility and compare the results.
\(f(x)=x^{3}-3.9 x^{2}+4.79 x-1.881\)
Text Transcription:
f(x)=x^3-3.9x^2+4.79x-1.881
