Solved problem-8 by Modified Newton-Raphson method.

For the given Solved problem-8 by the Modified Newton-Raphson method. The function f(x)=X^3-5*X^2+7x-3 with the first choice of x₀=0. The following slide includes the formula for the Modified Newton-Raphson method.

From the graph (next slide), we can see that there are three roots: x1 = 3, x2 = 1, and x3 = 1, as shown in the Excel sheet for Solved problem-8 using the Modified Newton-Raphson method. The x=0 will give a negative value of -3.

1-We start to use the modified Newton-Raphson method, consider the initial point x0 equals 0, and we start to find the expressions for f(x),f'(x), f’^2(x), and f”(x).

2- Substitute at x=0 and get the values for f (0), f'(0) & f’^2(0), and f”(0). The value of f(0)=-3. The value of f'(0)=7.

The value of f”(0)=-10. Substituting into the equation of the modified Newton-Raphson method, we get x1 = 1.10526. Please refer to the next slide image for a detailed estimation of the various parameters.

We plug in x = 1.105263 and get the corresponding values of f(1.105263), f'(1.105263), and f”(1.105263).

4- Substitute in the modified Newton-Raphson method. We get a new point with x2 = 1.00. and again continue to estimate f(1.00) and f'(1.00), and then apply them in the equation to get a new point that will be point x₃.

5-Continue the process until x converges to 1.00. The Excel sheet for the various values of x, based on the modified Newton-Raphson method from x₀=0 till x₄=1.00, is shown.  

This table shows the number of iterations and the corresponding f(x), f'(x), and f”(x) for each case.

Now if we consider the starting point as x₀=4.00, and proceed to get the x value for f(x)& f'(x) , f’^2(x) and f”(x) for x0=4.00. We have f(4)=9,f'(4)=15 and f”(4)=14. The value of x1 is found to be=2.6363.      

2- Substitute at x₁=2.6363 and get the values for f (2.6363), f'(2.6363)  & f”(2.6363). The values are shown in the next slide image.

3-Plug in the previous calculation into the Modified Newton-Raphson equation and substitute the value of X2. Substitute x2 = 2.8202 and get the values for f(2.6363), f'(2.8202) & f”^2(2.8202), f”(2.8202), and x3 = 2.9617.

This is the Excel sheet for the calculation based on the Modified Newton Raphson Method, starting from x₀=4 till x5=3.00.

This is a comparison of the Newton-Raphson method without modification for problem 8, based on the Newton formula. Starting as before with x0=0 and using the equation of xi=x0-(F(x0)/f'(x0)

We can get the x1 value to 0.4285, then substitute to get x2 = 0.6857.

The initial point is (0). The table lists all the values of the function till point x4. That point will be equal to 0.95578.

If we start with x₀=4.00 to get the other root but based on the Newton-Raphson method. The Excel sheet with more details shows the different values of x.
