Question:

a. Show that a root α of the equation f(x) = 0 lies in the interval [1.3, 1.4].

b. Differentiate f(x) to find f′(x).

c. By taking 1.3 as a first approximation to α, apply the Newton Raphson process once to f(x) to obtain a second approximation to α.Give your answer to 3 decimal places.
