Approximate the zero(s) of the function. Use Newton's Method and continue the process until two successive approximations differ by less than 0.001. Then find the zero(s) using a graphing utility and compare the results.

f(x) =x34.9x2+6.79x2.871

Newton's Method | Graphing Method

x= x = (Smallest Value)

x= x =

x= x = (Largest Value)

Approximate the fixed point of the function to two decimal places. [Afixed point x0of a functionfis a value ofxsuch thatf(x0) =x0.]

f(x) =2lnx

x0=
