Show that the rate of convergence of Newtons Raphson method is quadratic. [5]

Let $x^$ be the exact root of $f(x) = 0$ , and let $xn$ be the $n$ -th approximation. Define the error at the $n$ -th step as: $en = xn - x^$ The Newton-Raphson iteration formula is: $x{n+1} = xn - \frac{f(xn)}{f'(xn)}$ --- Expand $f(x^)$ about $xn$ using Taylor's series: $$f(x^) = f(xn) + (x^ -...
