1. Choose (or construct) a quadratic function with real roots
() = x2+3x + 2 2. Find the roots by any means (e.g. quadratic formula) = -2, x = -1 3. Express the equation in the form () = 0 () = x2+3x + 2 = 0 4. Calculate the derivative () () = 2+3 5. Choose an initial guess 0 that does not satisfy the equation and for which (0 ) is nonzero 0 = 2
