Use Newton's Method to find all the zeros of the function in Example 2:
`ftext[(]t text[)]=t^4-18t^2-10t+39`.
One zero is approximately `1.27`.
- Use Newton's Method to find all three solutions of the equation `3x^2=e^x
. ` - Use Newton's Method to find the root of `t^2-e^(-3t)=0`.
- Let `ftext[(]t text[)]=t^3+8t^2+t-6`. Use Newton's Method to find all zeros of `f`.
- Let `ftext[(]t text[)]=e^t+e^(-t)-2t^2.
- Find the four zeros of `f`.
- Find the three zeros of `f'`.
- Find the smallest value of `f` and the two values of `t` where `f` has its smallest value.
- Find the largest value of `f` between `t=-1` and `t=1`.
- Use Newton's Method to find (approximately) one solution of each of the following equations.
a. `x^3+5x=10` b. `x^3+5x=e^x` c. `x^3+5x=-e^x` d. `x^3-5x=10` e. `x^3-5x=e^x` f. `x^3-5x=-e^x` - Let `ftext[(]t text[)]=t^4-10t^2+e^(2t)`. Find one zero of `ftext[(]t text[)]`.
