f (xn )
HINT: Use Newton-Raphson method xn+1 = xn − , where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .. Put n = 0 in
f ′ (xn )
the method and proceed.

Q.2 ANS: 0.77001784

HINT: Take initial point equal to 1, and then follow the algorithm.
N
xn + xn
Q.3 ANS: xn+1 = , x1 = 1.416666, x2 = 1.414215
2
HINT: Take f (x) = x2 − N = 0 and then follow the algorithm.

f (xn )
HINT: Use Newton-Raphson method xn+1 = xn − ′ , where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .. Terminate each
f (xn )
term/expression at the 6th decimal place with rounding.

Q.5 HINT: ∆ log f (x) = log f (x + h) − log f (x)
