1. The graph of a function f(x) is given below
The graph of a function f(x) is given below. Suppose that Newton's method is used to approximate the roots r and s of the equation f(x) = 0. The blue (1) and red (2) lines are the tangent lines corresponding to initial approximations for finding these roots. In the approximation of the value of r, what is x2? {applet}
