  1. Newton-Raphson method is used to find the roots of the equation, x3 + 2x2 + 3x – 1 = 0. If the initial guess is x0 = 1, then the value of x after 2nd iteration is ________.
    1. 0.3043
    2. 0.2043
    3. 1.2043
    4. 1.3043
Correct Option: A

By Newton-Raphson Method,

1st iteration, x1 = x0
f(0)
f'(0)

= 1 -
f(1)
= 1 -
5
=
1

f'(1)102

Where f(x) = x3 + 2x2 + 3x – 1 ⇒ f(1) = 5
f'(x) = 3x2 + 4x + 3 ⇒ f'(1) = 10
2nd iteration, x2 = x1
f(x1)
= 0.5 -
f(0.5)
= 0.3043
f'(x1)f'(0.5)
