The conversation between human and AI assistant.
How does a computer or a calculator find the cube root, square root etc. of a number?
Can you explain the Newton-Raphson method?
Certainly. The Newton-Raphson method involves making a guess at the root, and then using that to find a better guess. It repeats this process until the guess is accurate enough. Essentially, it involves finding the tangent line at the initial guess, and using the x-intercept of that line as the new guess.
