THANK YOU!

@fungsit In the simple case of this example an explicit solution for x when f(x) = 0 is easy, x = 1000^1/7. However, in practise you would never use this method for this type of problem. Other problems where an explicit solution is not available or where it is too computationally intensive to calculate, e.g. a large dimensional vector space problem, it is very useful. We can use Newton's method to give us a 'good' estimate of the solution in just a small number of iterations.

I'm wondering now that the root can be found by setting f(x) = 0, why bother so much using Newton's method? What's the point of newton's method? Can anyone explain that to me?

Why did he choose the value 3 instead of 3 for his first value/
?

Or you can do 1000^1/7 = same number

@InstantRam3n Same!

thank you so much man! i have a calc exam tomorrow and you saved me! :D

your hand is cute and i don't like men



Deep down inside I kind of hope you're a realistic version of Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory) it makes me want to learn math more

@mikelamid this method is sweet (and tasty!), so yes, yes it is.
