Let R be a non-zero real number
Question 1.
The reciprocal of R can be computed without any division by using formula (N1). Use 2 iterations of this formula with initial guess p0=0.2 to approximate 1/4
Question 2.
How many iterations n of the Newton's method with initial guess p0=0.2 are required to approximate the zero of f(x) = 1 - 1/7x (i.e compute 1/7) with 10^-8 accuracy? What is the approximate zero pn
