Approximate solutions to Equations
of higher degree
(
Newton’s method
)
Newton’s method is used to calculate approximate solutions to the equation . For a
initial value , the following recurrence relation gives successive approximate solutions:
It should be noted that the series calculated above may not always converge, depending on
the initial value .
