まとめノート

1. Replacing the curve by its tangent line
  Rewrite $x^2=5$ as $f(x)=x^2-5=0$ , sketch the parabola with the guess $x_0=2$ , and draw the tangent line whose $x$ -intercept becomes the new guess $x_1$ .
2. The iteration $x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}$
  Start from the point-slope tangent line, set $y=0$ and solve for $x_1$ , substitute $y_0=f(x_0)$ and $m=f'(x_0)$ , and state the general step.
3. Worked example: computing $\sqrt{5}$
  Simplify the step for $f(x)=x^2-5$ to $x_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2}x_n+\frac{5}{2x_n}$ and compute $x_1=\frac{9}{4}$ , $x_2=\frac{161}{72}$ and $x_3$ from $x_0=2$ .
4. The error table for the iterates
  Tabulate $|\sqrt{5}-x_n|$ for $n=0$ to $3$ , from about $2\times 10^{-1}$ down to about $4\times 10^{-10}$ .
