Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{369 x^{3}}{1000} - 4 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=3 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{369 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{1107 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{369 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{1107 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.4094338678 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.4094338678) - \frac{- \frac{369 (2.4094338678)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (2.4094338678)}}{- \frac{1107 (2.4094338678)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.4094338678)}} = 2.2449906305 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.2449906305) - \frac{- \frac{369 (2.2449906305)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (2.2449906305)}}{- \frac{1107 (2.2449906305)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2449906305)}} = 2.2328184592 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.2328184592) - \frac{- \frac{369 (2.2328184592)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (2.2328184592)}}{- \frac{1107 (2.2328184592)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2328184592)}} = 2.2327545314 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (2.2327545314) - \frac{- \frac{369 (2.2327545314)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (2.2327545314)}}{- \frac{1107 (2.2327545314)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2327545314)}} = 2.2327545296
