asked 12/04/21Use Newton's method to approximate a root of the equation
Use Newton's method to approximate a root of the equation 43+2x + 2 = 0 as follows.
Let x1= − 1 be the initial approximation.
The second approximation x2 is
the third approximation x3 is.
(Although these are approximations of the root, enter exact expressions for each approximation.)

x3+2x+2=f(x)
solve for x, f(x)=0 given first estimate is x1=-1
formula is x2=x1-f(x1)/f'(x1)
f'(x)=3x2+2, at x=-1,,,f'(-1)=5
x2= -4/5
use same formula again for x3
I compute -794/1080
but you need to check

you must mean x^3, the way you have it the answer is x=-33.12/04/21
