Newton-Raphson method
The Newton-Raphson method is used when an equation f ( x )=0 cannot be solved using simple algebraic methods. The formula for Newton-Raphson method is given by
xn+1=xn−f (xn )f ' (xn )
Consider the graph of the function y=f ( x ) for the interval [a ,b ]
y=f ( x )

From the graph, it is known that f ( x )<0 for x=a and f ( x )>0 for x=b. There is a change in sign of
f (x) for the equation. Hence, a root exists in the interval [a ,b] for the equation f ( x )=0. Refer to question 26 for an example.
26. Show that the equation x ln x−1=0 has a root between the interval [1,2 ]. Hence, by using

Maclaurin’s Theorem
Certain functions, for example sin x , ln x and ex
can be expressed in the form of a polynomial. The Maclaurin’s Theorem (or sometimes referred as Taylor series) is given by
f ( x )≈ f (0 )+ f ' (0 )1!
x+f ' '(0)2 !
x2+f ' ' ' (0)3!
x3+f IV (0)4 !
x4+…
The approximation becomes more accurate when more terms are included in the expansion.
The Maclaurin’s series is used for:
Finding approximate values for an integral Evaluating limits Approximating the value of a function
Refer to question 39 and 40 for an example.

39. If x is so small that x4 and higher powers of xmay be ignored, expand ex as a polynomial in x.
Solution:
Using Maclaurin’s Theorem,
f ( x )≈ f (0 )+ f ' (0 )1!
x+f ' ' (0 )2 !
x2+f ' ' ' (0 )3 !

f ' ' ' (0 )=1
∴ f ( x )≈1+x+12x2+ 1
