6 votes 6 votes The Newton-Raphson method is to be used to find the root of the equation $f(x)=0$ where $x_o$ is the initial approximation and $f’$ is the derivative of $f$. The method converges always only if $f$ is a polynomial only if $f(x_o) <0$ none of the above Numerical Methods gate1999 numerical-methods newton-raphson normal out-of-syllabus-now + – Kathleen asked Sep 23, 2014 • edited Oct 28, 2017 by sourav.
