Question 1166990: Using the modified Newton - Raphson method, find the solutions
accurate to within 10−7
to the following problems
a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒x − 𝑥 − 1 for 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1 [HINT: p0 = 1]
the x before e is a power( so its e power x)
Therefore the function is constantly increasing on the given interval, hence is the absolute minimum on the given interval and is therefore the only zero of the function on the interval.
So why do you need Newton-Raphson?
