closed with the note: Out of syllabus now

Consider the series $x_{n+1} = \frac{x_n}{2}+\frac{9}{8x_n},x_0 = 0.5$ obtained from the Newton-Raphson method. The series converges to

  1. 1.5
  2. $\sqrt{2}$
  3. 1.6
  4. 1.4

Newton-Raphson iteration formula for finding $\sqrt[3]{c}$, where $c > 0$ is$x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 + \sqrt[3]{c}}{3x_n^2}$x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 - \sqrt[3]{c}}{3x_n^2}$x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 + c}{3x_n^2}$x_{n+1}=\frac{2x_n^3 - c}{3x_n^2}$
