Given information
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Differentiate with respect to $x$
It is given that the $x$-coordinate of the earths location is 1 , from the figure we can see that is a good initial approximation.
Newtons Method
If the -th approximation is and , then the next approximation is given by
Substitute and
Note that: when approximated to 5 digits
Therefore, is the required solution.
