Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{89 x^{3}}{125} - 7 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=3 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{89 x_{n}^{3}}{125} + 7 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{267 x_{n}^{2}}{125} - 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{89 (3.0000000000)^{3}}{125} + 7 + e^{- (3.0000000000)}}{- \frac{267 (3.0000000000)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (3.0000000000)}} = 2.3683538742 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (2.3683538742) - \frac{- \frac{89 (2.3683538742)^{3}}{125} + 7 + e^{- (2.3683538742)}}{- \frac{267 (2.3683538742)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.3683538742)}} = 2.1725050015 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.1725050015) - \frac{- \frac{89 (2.1725050015)^{3}}{125} + 7 + e^{- (2.1725050015)}}{- \frac{267 (2.1725050015)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.1725050015)}} = 2.1541856648 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.1541856648) - \frac{- \frac{89 (2.1541856648)^{3}}{125} + 7 + e^{- (2.1541856648)}}{- \frac{267 (2.1541856648)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.1541856648)}} = 2.1540327224 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (2.1540327224) - \frac{- \frac{89 (2.1540327224)^{3}}{125} + 7 + e^{- (2.1540327224)}}{- \frac{267 (2.1540327224)^{2}}{125} - e^{- (2.1540327224)}} = 2.1540327118
