Newton's Method: Quiz
Problem 2
Approximate π by using Newton's method to find a solution of sin(x) = 0, starting with x0 = 3. How many iterations of the method are needed until the solution is accurate to 3 decimal places?
Answers, problem 2
2 iterations; starting with x0 = 3, we get x1 = 3.14255, x2 = 3.14159.
