Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{411 x^{3}}{1000} - 1 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{411 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 1 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{1233 x_{n}^{2}}{1000} - 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{411 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 1 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{1233 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 1.5977211129 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (1.5977211129) - \frac{- \frac{411 (1.5977211129)^{3}}{1000} + 1 + e^{- (1.5977211129)}}{- \frac{1233 (1.5977211129)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.5977211129)}} = 1.4562474474 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (1.4562474474) - \frac{- \frac{411 (1.4562474474)^{3}}{1000} + 1 + e^{- (1.4562474474)}}{- \frac{1233 (1.4562474474)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.4562474474)}} = 1.4435569017 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (1.4435569017) - \frac{- \frac{411 (1.4435569017)^{3}}{1000} + 1 + e^{- (1.4435569017)}}{- \frac{1233 (1.4435569017)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.4435569017)}} = 1.4434608459 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.4434608459) - \frac{- \frac{411 (1.4434608459)^{3}}{1000} + 1 + e^{- (1.4434608459)}}{- \frac{1233 (1.4434608459)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.4434608459)}} = 1.4434608404
