Use the Newton-Raphson method to find the root of the equation f(x) = x^2 - 3 starting from an initial guess x₀ = 2. Show the calculations for three iterations.
💡 Hint: Calculate f(x) and its derivative at each iteration.
Explain how you would use the Fixed Point Iteration to solve for x in the equation x = 2x - 1. Iterates from x₀ = 1 until convergence.
💡 Hint: Keep track of how the value changes each iteration.
