Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{753 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{753 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{2259 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{753 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{2259 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.2992805978 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.2992805978) - \frac{- \frac{753 (2.2992805978)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (2.2992805978)}}{- \frac{2259 (2.2992805978)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.2992805978)}} = 2.0457861004 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.0457861004) - \frac{- \frac{753 (2.0457861004)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (2.0457861004)}}{- \frac{2259 (2.0457861004)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0457861004)}} = 2.0126061073 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.0126061073) - \frac{- \frac{753 (2.0126061073)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (2.0126061073)}}{- \frac{2259 (2.0126061073)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0126061073)}} = 2.0120687983 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (2.0120687983) - \frac{- \frac{753 (2.0120687983)^{3}}{1000} + 6 + e^{- (2.0120687983)}}{- \frac{2259 (2.0120687983)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0120687983)}} = 2.0120686590
