Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{63 x^{3}}{125} - 3 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{63 x_{n}^{3}}{125} + 3 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{189 x_{n}^{2}}{125} - 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{63 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{125} + 3 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{189 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 2.5234378218 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.5234378218) - \frac{- \frac{63 (2.5234378218)^{3}}{125} + 3 + e^{- (2.5234378218)}}{- \frac{189 (2.5234378218)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.5234378218)}} = 2.0065155462 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.0065155462) - \frac{- \frac{63 (2.0065155462)^{3}}{125} + 3 + e^{- (2.0065155462)}}{- \frac{189 (2.0065155462)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.0065155462)}} = 1.8559065410 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (1.8559065410) - \frac{- \frac{63 (1.8559065410)^{3}}{125} + 3 + e^{- (1.8559065410)}}{- \frac{189 (1.8559065410)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (1.8559065410)}} = 1.8436977372 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.8436977372) - \frac{- \frac{63 (1.8436977372)^{3}}{125} + 3 + e^{- (1.8436977372)}}{- \frac{189 (1.8436977372)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (1.8436977372)}} = 1.8436211678
