Newton's Method
We want approximate a solution of f(x)=0 with the iteration: x_(n+1)=x_n-f(x_n)/f'(x_n)
In the table there are first 20 values. The animation shows the values of the first 20 iterations and the corresponding points on the curve
y=f(x).
You can choose f and x_0. If necessary you can move the origin and change the scale of the axis. The scales of the axis can be changed by pressing the <ctrl>-button and moving the mouse on the x- or y-axis. You can move the origin
