Newton's Method MATLAB Code Examples

The document contains two MATLAB scripts for finding roots of functions using the Newton-Raphson method. The first script approximates the root of the function f(x) = x^2 - 11, while the second script finds the root of f(x) = exp(-0.5*x)*(4-x) - 2. Both scripts include user input for initial estimates, tolerances for convergence, and display the iteration results.
