Using Newton's Method to approximate the root of a function

Newton’s method lets us approximate the solution of a function, which is the point where the function crosses the x-axis. Keep the following in mind when you use Newton’s method: 1) The function must be in the form f(x)=0, 2) The more approximations we take, the closer we’ll get to the actual solution, and 3) For each approximation, we have to use our answer from the previous approximation.
