Newton's Method: Quadratic:
Calculate 3 iterations of Newton's Method to approximate a zero of f(x). Use x1 = 2 as an initial estimate. (Try this even though we can solve for the zeros: 
)
We will need f ' (x) = 2x. The calculations are best presented in tabular form. See if you can generate the first row, then follow the "Next" links to get confirmation and to try the next row, etc.
