Newton Raphson Method

The document presents a C program that implements the Newton-Raphson method to find the root of the function f(x) = x^3 - 4x - 9. It prompts the user for an initial guess, allowed error, and maximum iterations, then iteratively calculates the root. If the solution does not converge within the specified iterations, it returns an error notification.

#include<stdio.

float f(float x)
{
return x*x*x-4*x-9;
}
float df (float x)
{
return 3*x*x-4;
}
void main()
{
int itr, maxmitr;
float h, x0, x1, allerr;
printf("\nEnter x0, allowed error and maximum iterations\n");
scanf("%f %f %d", &x0, &allerr, &maxmitr);
for (itr=1; itr<=maxmitr; itr++)
{
h=f(x0)/df(x0);
x1=x0-h;
printf(" At Iteration no. %3d, x = %9.6f\n", itr, x1);
if (fabs(x1-x0) < allerr)
{
printf("After %3d iterations, root = %8.6f\n", itr, x1);
return 0;
}
x0=x1;
}
printf("The required solution does not converge or iterations are insufficient\n");
return 1;
}

REMARK: Both in Bisection method and in Newton Raphson, “return 1” is used to represent the
notification that "The required solution does not converge or iterations are insufficient". This implies
that the program did not run as it should and/or you did not get the desired result.
