Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{91 x^{3}}{1000} - 8 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=5 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{91 x_{n}^{3}}{1000} + 8 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{273 x_{n}^{2}}{1000} - e^{- x_{n}}}   Using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0 = 5 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle n = 0,1,2,3, and LaTeX:  \displaystyle 4 gives: LaTeX:  x_{1} =  (5.0000000000) - \frac{- \frac{91 (5.0000000000)^{3}}{1000} + 8 + e^{- (5.0000000000)}}{- \frac{273 (5.0000000000)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (5.0000000000)}} = 4.5069684934 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (4.5069684934) - \frac{- \frac{91 (4.5069684934)^{3}}{1000} + 8 + e^{- (4.5069684934)}}{- \frac{273 (4.5069684934)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (4.5069684934)}} = 4.4493906649 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (4.4493906649) - \frac{- \frac{91 (4.4493906649)^{3}}{1000} + 8 + e^{- (4.4493906649)}}{- \frac{273 (4.4493906649)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (4.4493906649)}} = 4.4486442081 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (4.4486442081) - \frac{- \frac{91 (4.4486442081)^{3}}{1000} + 8 + e^{- (4.4486442081)}}{- \frac{273 (4.4486442081)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (4.4486442081)}} = 4.4486440837 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (4.4486440837) - \frac{- \frac{91 (4.4486440837)^{3}}{1000} + 8 + e^{- (4.4486440837)}}{- \frac{273 (4.4486440837)^{2}}{1000} - e^{- (4.4486440837)}} = 4.4486440837
