Document Summary
Test review for exam #4 instructor: dr. harhad. Review sections: (4. 8, 4. 9, and 5. 1-5. 5 and 6. 1: newton"s method is discussed in section 4. 8 of the textbook. It is a simple method used to approximate zeros of a function. Some examples are given below (this is not a comprehensive list of problems). More problems may be found in the exercises of the sections we have covered in web assign assignments: find f(x) satisfying xf. 1 and f(x) is an antiderivative of f(x) with f(1) = 5, find f(x). 6 x: a particle"s acceleration along a straight line is given by a t cos t sin t. Its initial velocity is 5 cm/s and its initial position is 0 cm. 1: use newton"s method to find 3 9 . (perform only two approximations) Choose x1 =1 answer: xx ==== cos x =
