Question: Use Newtons method to find the zeros of (x) = 4x 4 - 4x 2 using the given starting values. a. x 0 = -2

Use Newton’s method to find the zeros of ƒ(x) = 4x4 - 4x2 using the given starting values.

a. x0 = -2 and x0 = -0.8, lying in (-∞, -(2/2)

b. x0 = -0.5 and x0 = 0.25, lying in (-√21/7, √21/7)

c. x0 = 0.8 and x0 = 2, lying in (√2/2, ∞)

d. x0 = -√21/7 and x0 = √21/7
