NETWONS METHOD DOING THAT JAWN I AM A BO$$ STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO USE NEWTON’S METHOD TO FIND THE ROOTS OF ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
TEACH ME HOW TO NEWTON’S METHOD!!!
USES Approximating the Zeros of a function Finding Intellectual Enlightenment Having Fun
Basic Formula
How to Do It 1) Read the Problem 2) Make a guess of the root 3) Calculate Initial Approximation using this guess 4) Continue until is close to 0
Visual Representation 1) Find where the line tangent to the first guess intersects the x axis 2) Make this the new guess 3) Keep on repeating that jawnslice
Practical Application I’m an expert at Math, so I guess that x=2 Which means… = So we do this again with a guess of -1 = = 0 So we know this is a root
Now let’s get a little harder!
FIND THE SQUARE ROOT OF 2 Guess that x= 1.5 = Guess that x= = THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO THE KNOWN ROOT OF
NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF
Harder Stuff Guess that x=.8 = Make.785 your new guess and repeat = Since the answer only changed by.024, this is very close to a root
HAVE FUN DOING THE CALCULUS
