When using Newton's Method to find the root of a linear function f(x) = ax + b, a 70, how many iterations of the method are required to find the root at r = R?1 4 2 There is no fixed number. It depends on the intial guess xo.

It depends on the initial guess Xo

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of iterations required to find the root at r = R  depends on the initial guess Xo, this is because when using Newton's method for finding roots, you will need to pick an initial guess and this will be followed by an iterative process which would converge to a solution. The number of roots before the converging will take place depends on the initial guess Xo made

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
