  1. The root of the function f(x) = x3 + x – 1 obtained after first iteration on application of Newton Raphson scheme using an initial guess of x0 = 1 is
    1. 0.682
    2. 0.686
    3. 0.750
    4. 1.000
Correct Option: C

f (x) = x3 + x–1
f (1) = 1+1 – 1 = 1
f’(x) = 3x2 + 1
f’ (1) = 3+1=4

x1 = x0 -
f(x0)
= 1 -
1
f'(x0)4

= 1 – 0.25
x1 = 0.75
