Given information:

Calculation:

The given functions f and g have a zero at x  1 . For applying the Newton’s method we need to
calculate the values of derivatives.

Given information:

Calculation:

In above part we have calculated the zeros of the function f and g . From there we have seen that
the value of x4 for the function g is same as the actual value of zero. But it is not holding in
f '  x  at x  1 f '  1  0
function f because the value of vanishes, that is , but not in the case of
function g .

Hence, the approximations for the zero of g more accurate than those for the zero of f
