Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{623 x^{3}}{1000} - 5 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=3 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{623 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{1869 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{623 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{1869 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.3022724498 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.3022724498) - \frac{- \frac{623 (2.3022724498)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (2.3022724498)}}{- \frac{1869 (2.3022724498)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.3022724498)}} = 2.0521872409 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.0521872409) - \frac{- \frac{623 (2.0521872409)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (2.0521872409)}}{- \frac{1869 (2.0521872409)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0521872409)}} = 2.0201901240 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.0201901240) - \frac{- \frac{623 (2.0201901240)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (2.0201901240)}}{- \frac{1869 (2.0201901240)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0201901240)}} = 2.0196952986 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (2.0196952986) - \frac{- \frac{623 (2.0196952986)^{3}}{1000} + 5 + e^{- (2.0196952986)}}{- \frac{1869 (2.0196952986)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0196952986)}} = 2.0196951815
