1. Consider the function h(x) = x4/(4 3x). In this problem, we will see how to use Newton's

method to find the minimum of the function h(x).

(a) Derive a functionthat has a root at the point where h achieves its minimum. Write down the formula for Newton's method applied to .

(b) Take one step (by hand) with Newton's method starting with a guess of x0 = 1.

(c) Take two steps (by hand) towards the root of(i.e., the minimum of h) using bisection with

a = 0, b = 4.
