QS026 Numerical Method - Newton Raphson Method

This method is used to approximate a certain root of an equation. This is done by find it's derivative and putting it in
Technically this is a tedious method with repetition of numerical computation. Students tends to make mistake. However with the usage of "Calculate" option in today's scientific calculator, mistakes can be minimize.

Basically we need to approximate the initial value and hope that the value will be reduced to the root instead of converging.

Please see this useful video on Newton-Raphson Method...
