Use Newton's method to find the first 5 approximations of the solution to the equation LaTeX:  \displaystyle e^{- x}= \frac{327 x^{3}}{500} - 5 using LaTeX:  \displaystyle x_0=1 .

Using the formula for Newton's method gives LaTeX:  x_{n+1} =  x_{n} - \frac{- \frac{327 x_{n}^{3}}{500} + 5 + e^{- x_{n}}}{- \frac{981 x_{n}^{2}}{500} - 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{327 (1.0000000000)^{3}}{500} + 5 + e^{- (1.0000000000)}}{- \frac{981 (1.0000000000)^{2}}{500} - e^{- (1.0000000000)}} = 3.0232289096 LaTeX:  x_{2} =  (3.0232289096) - \frac{- \frac{327 (3.0232289096)^{3}}{500} + 5 + e^{- (3.0232289096)}}{- \frac{981 (3.0232289096)^{2}}{500} - e^{- (3.0232289096)}} = 2.2989863562 LaTeX:  x_{3} =  (2.2989863562) - \frac{- \frac{327 (2.2989863562)^{3}}{500} + 5 + e^{- (2.2989863562)}}{- \frac{981 (2.2989863562)^{2}}{500} - e^{- (2.2989863562)}} = 2.0271345194 LaTeX:  x_{4} =  (2.0271345194) - \frac{- \frac{327 (2.0271345194)^{3}}{500} + 5 + e^{- (2.0271345194)}}{- \frac{981 (2.0271345194)^{2}}{500} - e^{- (2.0271345194)}} = 1.9885529534 LaTeX:  x_{5} =  (1.9885529534) - \frac{- \frac{327 (1.9885529534)^{3}}{500} + 5 + e^{- (1.9885529534)}}{- \frac{981 (1.9885529534)^{2}}{500} - e^{- (1.9885529534)}} = 1.9878204423
