1) Examining the following quartic equation:
We can notice that this an incomplete equation. So let's proceed:
2) Let's use the Newton Method, or the Newton-Raphson method to find the derivative of that equation:
Notice that we need to find the derivative of that quartic function:
f'(x)= -60x³+12x² Applying the power rule
Let's take the first root to be 1, so x_0=1 Now we can plug into the formula
3) Visualizing graphically
Hence, the answers are:
