NEWTON- RAPHSON METHOD

Newton's method (also knows as Newton- Raphson method) named afer Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson
is a method for finding successively better approximation to the roots (or zeroes) of a real- valued function. It is on
of root- finding algorithm.

EXAMPLE: Determine the root of equationf(x)= 2x3- 2x- 5= 0

f'(x)= 6x2- 2
