Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation \(\displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{68 x^{3}}{125} - 9\) using \(\displaystyle x_0=3\).


Using the formula for Newton's method gives \begin{equation*}x_{n+1} = x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{68 x_{n}^{3}}{125} + 9 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{204 x_{n}^{2}}{125} - e^{- x_{n}}} \end{equation*} Using \(\displaystyle x_0 = 3\) and \(\displaystyle n = 0,1,2,3,\) and \(\displaystyle 4\) gives: \begin{equation*}x_{1} = (3.0000000000) - \frac{- \frac{68 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{125} + 9 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{204 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.6174315109\end{equation*} \begin{equation*}x_{2} = (2.6174315109) - \frac{- \frac{68 (2.6174315109)^{3}}{125} + 9 + e^{- (2.6174315109)}}{- \frac{204 (2.6174315109)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.6174315109)}} = 2.5568333173\end{equation*} \begin{equation*}x_{3} = (2.5568333173) - \frac{- \frac{68 (2.5568333173)^{3}}{125} + 9 + e^{- (2.5568333173)}}{- \frac{204 (2.5568333173)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.5568333173)}} = 2.5553976721\end{equation*} \begin{equation*}x_{4} = (2.5553976721) - \frac{- \frac{68 (2.5553976721)^{3}}{125} + 9 + e^{- (2.5553976721)}}{- \frac{204 (2.5553976721)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.5553976721)}} = 2.5553968785\end{equation*} \begin{equation*}x_{5} = (2.5553968785) - \frac{- \frac{68 (2.5553968785)^{3}}{125} + 9 + e^{- (2.5553968785)}}{- \frac{204 (2.5553968785)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.5553968785)}} = 2.5553968785\end{equation*}
