Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{107 x^{3}}{200} - 4 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{107 x_{n}^{3}}{200} + 4 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{321 x_{n}^{2}}{200} - 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{107 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{200} + 4 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{321 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{200} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 2.9427844202 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.9427844202) - \frac{- \frac{107 (2.9427844202)^{3}}{200} + 4 + e^{- (2.9427844202)}}{- \frac{321 (2.9427844202)^{2}}{200} - e^{- (2.9427844202)}} = 2.2560388981 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.2560388981) - \frac{- \frac{107 (2.2560388981)^{3}}{200} + 4 + e^{- (2.2560388981)}}{- \frac{321 (2.2560388981)^{2}}{200} - e^{- (2.2560388981)}} = 2.0096670502 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.0096670502) - \frac{- \frac{107 (2.0096670502)^{3}}{200} + 4 + e^{- (2.0096670502)}}{- \frac{321 (2.0096670502)^{2}}{200} - e^{- (2.0096670502)}} = 1.9781794603 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.9781794603) - \frac{- \frac{107 (1.9781794603)^{3}}{200} + 4 + e^{- (1.9781794603)}}{- \frac{321 (1.9781794603)^{2}}{200} - e^{- (1.9781794603)}} = 1.9776943150
