FIXED POINT AND ROC Er.

Sudip rana
DRAWBACKS OF NEWTON RAPHSON
1. It requires the derivatives of f(x), if complicated then this method will tend to fail.
2. It requires a very accurate initial value or initial guess x. Must be near the root
you need to approximate. Otherwise it may diverge or oscillate.
3. Division by zero problem can occur.
4. In case of multiple roots, this method converges slowly.
5. If the tangent is parallel or nearly parallel to the x-axis, then the method does not
converge
6. If root jumping occurs the root may be other than desired root.
