Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{747 x^{3}}{1000} - 5 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{747 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{2241 x_{n}^{2}}{1000} - e^{- x_{n}}}   Using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0 = 1 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle n = 0,1,2,3, and LaTeX:  \displaystyle 4 gives: LaTeX:  x_{1} =  (1.0000000000) - \frac{- \frac{747 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{2241 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 2.7712123329 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.7712123329) - \frac{- \frac{747 (2.7712123329)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (2.7712123329)}}{- \frac{2241 (2.7712123329)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.7712123329)}} = 2.1439210726 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.1439210726) - \frac{- \frac{747 (2.1439210726)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (2.1439210726)}}{- \frac{2241 (2.1439210726)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.1439210726)}} = 1.9285210088 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (1.9285210088) - \frac{- \frac{747 (1.9285210088)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (1.9285210088)}}{- \frac{2241 (1.9285210088)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.9285210088)}} = 1.9034591877 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.9034591877) - \frac{- \frac{747 (1.9034591877)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (1.9034591877)}}{- \frac{2241 (1.9034591877)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.9034591877)}} = 1.9031378837
