NEWTON’S METHOD A. Consider a function that is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and is differentiable at (a, b). If f(a) and f(b) differs in signs, then by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there must exist one zero in the interval (a, b). B. Newton’s Method is used to approximate the real zeros of a function C. Tangent Lines are used to approximate the graph of a function near the x-intercepts D. Successive applications of this procedure is called iteration. E. Newton’s Method fails if the derivative is zero for any xn. If it happens, find another x 1 and start over F. The xn does not converge (approaches to a limit) 12/30/2021 11: 02 PM 3. 9 - Tangent Line and Line Approximations 2
