Given $f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 3$

question 8

Multiple Choice

Given $f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 3$ , use Newton's method to find the iterative formula for $x _ { n + 1 }$ .

• A) \(x _ { n + 1 } = x _ { n } + \frac { 1 } { 2 x _ { n } }\)
• B) \(x _ { n + 1 } = x _ { n } + \frac { 3 } { 2 x _ { n } }\)
• C) \(x _ { n + 1 } = \frac { x _ { n } } { 2 } - \frac { 3 } { 2 x _ { n } }\)
• D) \(x _ { n + 1 } = x _ { n } + \frac { 3 } { x _ { n } }\)
• E) \(x _ { n + 1 } = x _ { n } - \frac { 1 } { 2 x _ { n } }\)
• F) \(x _ { n + 1 } = x _ { n } - \frac { 3 } { 2 x _ { n } }\)
• G) \(x _ { n + 1 } = \frac { x _ { n } } { 2 } + \frac { 3 } { 2 x _ { n } }\)
• H)None of these
