For solving algebraic and transcendental equation which one of the following is used?

The real root of the equation $$x{e^x} = 2$$ is evaluated using Newton $$-$$ Raphson's method. If the first approximation of the value of $$x$$ is $$0.8679,$$ the $${2^{nd}}$$ approximation of the value of $$x$$ correct to three decimal places is

Newton $$-$$ Raphson formula to find the roots of an equation $$f(x)=0$$ is given by

The eigen values of the matrix $$M$$ given are $$15, 3, $$ and $$0.$$
$$M = \left[ {\matrix{ 8 & { - 6} & 2 \cr { - 6} & 7 & { - 4} \cr 2 & { - 4} & 3 \cr } } \right],$$ the value of the determinant of a matrix is
