Suppose x0x 0 Is an Initial Approximation of a Zero of the Function

Question 55

Multiple Choice

Suppose x0x 0 is an initial approximation of a zero of the function f(x) . Using the Newton-Raphson algorithm, a second approximation, x1\mathrm { x } _ { 1 } is obtained. Which of the following must be true?


A) x1\mathrm { x } _ { 1 } is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept of the tangent line to f(x) at (x0,f(x0) ) \left( { } { \mathrm { x } } _0 , \mathrm { f } \left( \mathrm { x } _ { 0 } \right) \right)
B) f( x1\mathrm { x } _ { 1 } ) = 0
C) x1\mathrm { x } _ { 1 } = x0x _0 - f(x0) f(x0) \frac { f ^ { \prime } \left( x _ { 0 } \right) } { f \left( x _ { 0 } \right) }
D) x1\mathrm { x } _ { 1 } is closer to the zero of f(x) than x0x _0 .
E) all of these
