1 SECTION 8 Newto s Method 9 (a) a a Sectio 8 (, ( )) (, ( )) Taget lie c Taget lie c b (b) The -itercept o the taget lie approimates the zero o Figure 60 b Newto s Method Approimate a zero o a uctio usig Newto s Method Newto s Method I this sectio ou will stud a techique or approimatig the real zeros o a uctio The techique is called Newto's Method, ad it uses taget lies to approimate the graph o the uctio ear its -itercepts To see how Newto s Method works, cosider a uctio that is cotiuous o the iterval a, b ad dieretiable o the iterval a, b I a ad b dier i sig, the, b the Itermediate Value Theorem, must have at least oe zero i the iterval a, b Suppose ou estimate this zero to occur at First estimate as show i Figure 60(a) Newto s Method is based o the assumptio that the graph o ad the taget lie at, both cross the -ais at about the same poit Because ou ca easil calculate the -itercept or this taget lie, ou ca use it as a secod (ad, usuall, better) estimate or the zero o The taget lie passes through the poit, with a slope o I poit-slope orm, the equatio o the taget lie is thereore Lettig 0 ad solvig or produces So, rom the iitial estimate You ca improve o ou obtai a ew estimate Secod estimate [see Figure 60(b)] ad calculate et a third estimate Third estimate Repeated applicatio o this process is called Newto s Method Video NEWTON S METHOD Isaac Newto irst described the method or approimatig the real zeros o a uctio i his tet Method o Fluios Although the book was writte i 67, it was ot published util 76 Meawhile, i 690, Joseph Raphso (648 75) published a paper describig a method or approimatig the real zeros o a uctio that was ver similar to Newto s For this reaso, the method is ote reerred to as the Newto- Raphso method Newto s Method or Approimatig the Zeros o a Fuctio Let c 0, where is dieretiable o a ope iterval cotaiig c The, to approimate c, use the ollowig steps Make a iitial estimate that is close to c (A graph is helpul) Determie a ew approimatio I is withi the desired accurac, let serve as the ial approimatio Otherwise, retur to Step ad calculate a ew approimatio Each successive applicatio o this procedure is called a iteratio Techolog

2 0 CHAPTER Applicatios o Dieretiatio NOTE For ma uctios, just a ew iteratios o Newto s Method will produce approimatios havig ver small errors, as show i Eample EXAMPLE Usig Newto s Method Calculate three iteratios o Newto s Method to approimate a zero o Use as the iitial guess Solutio Because, ou have, ad the iterative process is give b the ormula = = 5 The calculatios or three iteratios are show i the table () = The irst iteratio o Newto s Method Figure 6 O course, i this case ou kow that the two zeros o the uctio are ± To si decimal places, 444 So, ater ol three iteratios o Newto s Method, ou have obtaied a approimatio that is withi o a actual root The irst iteratio o this process is show i Figure 6 Editable Graph Tr It Eploratio A Eploratio B EXAMPLE Usig Newto s Method () = + + Use Newto s Method to approimate the zeros o Cotiue the iteratios util two successive approimatios dier b less tha 0000 Solutio Begi b sketchig a graph o, as show i Figure 6 From the graph, ou ca observe that the uctio has ol oe zero, which occurs ear Net, dieretiate ad orm the iterative ormula 6 The calculatios are show i the table Ater three iteratios o Newto s Method, the zero o is approimated to the desired accurac Figure 6 Editable Graph Because two successive approimatios dier b less tha the required 0000, ou ca estimate the zero o to be 75 Tr It Eploratio A Eploratio B Ope Eploratio Video

3 SECTION 8 Newto s Method Whe, as i Eamples ad, the approimatios approach a limit, the sequece,,,,, is said to coverge Moreover, i the limit is c, it ca be show that c must be a zero o Newto s Method does ot alwas ield a coverget sequece Oe wa it ca ail to do so is show i Figure 6 Because Newto s Method ivolves divisio b, it is clear that the method will ail i the derivative is zero or a i the sequece Whe ou ecouter this problem, ou ca usuall overcome it b choosig a dieret value or Aother wa Newto s Method ca ail is show i the et eample ( ) = 0 Newto s Method ails to coverge i Figure 6 0 EXAMPLE A Eample i Which Newto s Method Fails () = / The uctio is ot dieretiable at 0 Show that Newto s Method ails to coverge usig 0 Solutio Because, the iterative ormula is The calculatios are show i the table This table ad Figure 64 idicate that cotiues to icrease i magitude as, ad so the limit o the sequece does ot eist 4 5 Newto s Method ails to coverge or ever -value other tha the actual zero o Figure Tr It Eploratio A Eploratio B NOTE I Eample, the iitial estimate 0 ails to produce a coverget sequece Tr showig that Newto s Method also ails or ever other choice o (other tha the actual zero)

4 CHAPTER Applicatios o Dieretiatio It ca be show that a coditio suiciet to produce covergece o Newto s Method to a zero o is that < Coditio or covergece o a ope iterval cotaiig the zero For istace, i Eample this test would ield,,, ad Eample 4 O the iterval,, this quatit is less tha ad thereore the covergece o Newto s Method is guarateed O the other had, i Eample, ou have,, 9 5, ad Eample which is ot less tha or a value o, so ou caot coclude that Newto s Method will coverge Algebraic Solutios o Polomial Equatios The zeros o some uctios, such as ca be oud b simple algebraic techiques, such as actorig The zeros o other uctios, such as caot be oud b elemetar algebraic methods This particular uctio has ol oe real zero, ad b usig more advaced algebraic techiques ou ca determie the zero to be 6 6 Because the eact solutio is writte i terms o square roots ad cube roots, it is called a solutio b radicals NIELS HENRIK ABEL (80 89) MathBio EVARISTE GALOIS (8 8) MathBio Although the lives o both Abel ad Galois were brie, their work i the ields o aalsis ad abstract algebra was ar-reachig NOTE Tr approimatig the real zero o ad compare our result with the eact solutio show above The determiatio o radical solutios o a polomial equatio is oe o the udametal problems o algebra The earliest such result is the Quadratic Formula, which dates back at least to Babloia times The geeral ormula or the zeros o a cubic uctio was developed much later I the siteeth cetur a Italia mathematicia, Jerome Carda, published a method or idig radical solutios to cubic ad quartic equatios The, or 00 ears, the problem o idig a geeral quitic ormula remaied ope Fiall, i the ieteeth cetur, the problem was aswered idepedetl b two oug mathematicias Niels Herik Abel, a Norwegia mathematicia, ad Evariste Galois, a Frech mathematicia, proved that it is ot possible to solve a geeral ith- (or higher-) degree polomial equatio b radicals O course, ou ca solve particular ith-degree equatios such as 5 0, but Abel ad Galois were able to show that o geeral radical solutio eists
