Let f(x) = x^2 and let N(x) be the associated Newton’s method iteration function for f. Show that zero is attractive but not super-attractive for f.
Let f(x) = x^2 and let N(x) be the associated Newton’s method iteration function for f. Show that zero is attractive but not super-attractive for f.
Let f(x) = x^2.
Then N(x)=x-\dfrac{x^2}{2x}= \dfrac{x}{2}.
Then N'(x) = \dfrac{1}{2}
Then N'(0) = \dfrac{1}{2}.
So 0 is attractive but not super-attractive for N(x). (But it is super-attractive for f)
