Suppose that we want to compute √2 by using Newton’s Method on the equation x2 = 2 (in the obvious, straightforward way). If the starting point is x0 = 7/5 , what is the numerical value of the correction that must be added to x0 to get x1?
Hint: The arithmetic is quite easy if you do it using ratios of integers.
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the solution.
