Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{189 x^{3}}{1000} - 6 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=3 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{189 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{567 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{189 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{567 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 3.1837427116 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (3.1837427116) - \frac{- \frac{189 (3.1837427116)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (3.1837427116)}}{- \frac{567 (3.1837427116)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.1837427116)}} = 3.1737560729 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (3.1737560729) - \frac{- \frac{189 (3.1737560729)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (3.1737560729)}}{- \frac{567 (3.1737560729)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.1737560729)}} = 3.1737251721 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (3.1737251721) - \frac{- \frac{189 (3.1737251721)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (3.1737251721)}}{- \frac{567 (3.1737251721)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.1737251721)}} = 3.1737251718 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (3.1737251718) - \frac{- \frac{189 (3.1737251718)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (3.1737251718)}}{- \frac{567 (3.1737251718)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.1737251718)}} = 3.1737251718
