Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{33 x^{3}}{100} - 1 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{33 x_{n}^{3}}{100} + 1 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{99 x_{n}^{2}}{100} - 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{33 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{100} + 1 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{99 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{100} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 1.7643384307 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (1.7643384307) - \frac{- \frac{33 (1.7643384307)^{3}}{100} + 1 + e^{- (1.7643384307)}}{- \frac{99 (1.7643384307)^{2}}{100} - e^{- (1.7643384307)}} = 1.5672554039 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (1.5672554039) - \frac{- \frac{33 (1.5672554039)^{3}}{100} + 1 + e^{- (1.5672554039)}}{- \frac{99 (1.5672554039)^{2}}{100} - e^{- (1.5672554039)}} = 1.5438637809 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (1.5438637809) - \frac{- \frac{33 (1.5438637809)^{3}}{100} + 1 + e^{- (1.5438637809)}}{- \frac{99 (1.5438637809)^{2}}{100} - e^{- (1.5438637809)}} = 1.5435578504 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.5435578504) - \frac{- \frac{33 (1.5435578504)^{3}}{100} + 1 + e^{- (1.5435578504)}}{- \frac{99 (1.5435578504)^{2}}{100} - e^{- (1.5435578504)}} = 1.5435577987
