A piecewise linear function $f(x)$ is plotted using thick solid lines in the figure below (the plot is drawn to scale).

If we use the Newton-Raphson method to find the roots of $f(x)=0$ using $x_0, x_1,$ and $x_2$ respectively as initial guesses, the roots obtained would be

1. 1.3, 0.6, and 0.6 respectively
2. 0.6, 0.6, and 1.3 respectively
3. 1.3, 1.3, and 0.6 respectively
4. 1.3, 0.6, and 1.3 respectively

Newton-Raphson iteration formula for finding $\sqrt[3]{c}$, where $c > 0$ is $x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 + \sqrt[3]{c}}{3x_n^2}$ $x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 - \sqrt[3]{c}}{3x_n^2}$ $x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 + c}{3x_n^2}$ $x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 - c}{3x_n^2}$

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
