The function x3 2x2 4x + 8 has a double root at x = 2.

Question:

The function x3 – 2x2 – 4x + 8 has a double root at x = 2. Use

(a) The standard Newton-Raphson [Eq. (6.6)],

(b) The modified Newton-Raphson [Eq. (6.9a)], and

(c) The modified Newton-Raphson [Eq. (6.13)] to solve for the root at x = 2. Compare and discuss the rate of convergence using an initial guess of x0 = 1.2.
