Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{889 x^{3}}{1000} - 7 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=3 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{889 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 7 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{2667 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{889 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 7 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{2667 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.2951663820 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.2951663820) - \frac{- \frac{889 (2.2951663820)^{3}}{1000} + 7 + e^{- (2.2951663820)}}{- \frac{2667 (2.2951663820)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2951663820)}} = 2.0373795956 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.0373795956) - \frac{- \frac{889 (2.0373795956)^{3}}{1000} + 7 + e^{- (2.0373795956)}}{- \frac{2667 (2.0373795956)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0373795956)}} = 2.0027487856 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.0027487856) - \frac{- \frac{889 (2.0027487856)^{3}}{1000} + 7 + e^{- (2.0027487856)}}{- \frac{2667 (2.0027487856)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0027487856)}} = 2.0021579069 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (2.0021579069) - \frac{- \frac{889 (2.0021579069)^{3}}{1000} + 7 + e^{- (2.0021579069)}}{- \frac{2667 (2.0021579069)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0021579069)}} = 2.0021577369
