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 x₀, x₁ and x₂ respectively as initial guesses, the roots obtained would be

What is the cube root of 1468 to 3 decimal places?

Torque exerted on a flywheel over a cycle is listed in the table. Flywheel energy (in J per unit cycle) using Simpson's rule is

Angle (degree)	0	60	120	180	240	300	360
Torque (Nm)	0	1066	-323	0	323	-355	0

Roots of the algebraic equation x³ + x² + x + 1 = 0 are

In the Newton-Raphson method, an initial guess of x₀ = 2 is made and the sequence x₀, x₁, x₂ ... is obtained for the function 0.75x³ - 2x² - 2x + 4 = 0
