GATE CE 2005

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.6

Given $$a>0,$$ we wish to calculate its reciprocal value $${1 \over a}$$ by using Newton - Raphson method for $$f(x)=0.$$ For $$a=7$$ and starting with $${x_0} = 0.2\,\,$$ the first two iterations will be

$$0.11,$$ $$0.1299$$

$$0.12,$$ $$0.1392$$

$$0.12,$$ $$0.1416$$

$$0.13,$$ $$0.1428$$
