Question

The function f(x)=ex1 is tto be solved using Newton-Raphson method. If the initial value of x0 is taken as 1.0, then the absolute error observed at 2nd iteration is
  1. 0.06

Solution

The correct option is A 0.06
f(x)=ex1,x0=1
f(x)=ex
By Newton-Raphson method
xn+1=xnf(xn)f(xn)
n=0,1,2,3,....
x1=x0f(x0)f(x0)
=1(e1)e=1e
x2=x1f(x1)f(x1)=1e(e1/e1)e1/e
=1e+1e1/e1
=0.37+0.691
=0.06
Absolute error after 2nd iteration
= |0-0.06| = 0.06.
