Question 1
You are solving an equation using the Newton-Raphson method. Your current approximation xβ = 3.5, the next approximation xβββ comes out to be 3.100. Analyze whether to stop based on |xβ - xβββ| < π if π = 0.1.
π‘ Hint: Check the difference carefully.
Question 2
Consider using stopping criteria. You set a maximum of 50 iterations for an equation where each iteration feels like it gives you closer answers. However, after 49 iterations, the change between answers is becoming minimal, what would you do?
π‘ Hint: Weigh the trade-off between efficiency and accuracy.
