Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{853 x^{3}}{1000} - 9 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=3 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{853 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 9 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{2559 x_{n}^{2}}{1000} - e^{- x_{n}}}   Using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0 = 3 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle n = 0,1,2,3, and LaTeX:  \displaystyle 4 gives: LaTeX:  x_{1} =  (3.0000000000) - \frac{- \frac{853 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 9 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{2559 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.3942488664 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.3942488664) - \frac{- \frac{853 (2.3942488664)^{3}}{1000} + 9 + e^{- (2.3942488664)}}{- \frac{2559 (2.3942488664)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.3942488664)}} = 2.2170151120 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.2170151120) - \frac{- \frac{853 (2.2170151120)^{3}}{1000} + 9 + e^{- (2.2170151120)}}{- \frac{2559 (2.2170151120)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2170151120)}} = 2.2023395630 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.2023395630) - \frac{- \frac{853 (2.2023395630)^{3}}{1000} + 9 + e^{- (2.2023395630)}}{- \frac{2559 (2.2023395630)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2023395630)}} = 2.2022431448 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (2.2022431448) - \frac{- \frac{853 (2.2022431448)^{3}}{1000} + 9 + e^{- (2.2022431448)}}{- \frac{2559 (2.2022431448)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2022431448)}} = 2.2022431406
