In lecture we discussed the graphical intuition behinds Newton s method for finding the root of some function f x Given an iterate Pn the next iterate comes from finding the root of the function L x where L is the tangent to f x at the point x Pn What is L x From your answer to a find the root L x and show that it reproduces the formula for Newton s method
