Apply Newton's method to solve the algebraic equation f(x) = x + x - 1 = 0 correct to 6 decimal places. (Start with x = 1). Solution: QUESTION 2 (5 Marks) Approximate the derivative of In (5x) at x = 3, for the various values of given h below using a Central Difference Formula. All computations must be rounded off to 8 decimal places and determine the accuracy levels. a) h=0.1 b) h=0.01 c) h=0.001 d) h=0.0001 Apply Newton's method to solve the algebraic equation f(x) = x + x - 1 = 0 correct to 6 decimal places.
