Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{957 x^{3}}{1000} - 4 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{957 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{2871 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{957 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{2871 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 2.0531047861 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.0531047861) - \frac{- \frac{957 (2.0531047861)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (2.0531047861)}}{- \frac{2871 (2.0531047861)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (2.0531047861)}} = 1.7134679713 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (1.7134679713) - \frac{- \frac{957 (1.7134679713)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (1.7134679713)}}{- \frac{2871 (1.7134679713)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.7134679713)}} = 1.6398119583 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (1.6398119583) - \frac{- \frac{957 (1.6398119583)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (1.6398119583)}}{- \frac{2871 (1.6398119583)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.6398119583)}} = 1.6365513140 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.6365513140) - \frac{- \frac{957 (1.6365513140)^{3}}{1000} + 4 + e^{- (1.6365513140)}}{- \frac{2871 (1.6365513140)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (1.6365513140)}} = 1.6365451005
