    This document contains 3 questions involving root finding algorithms. Question 3 provides the code to iteratively find the root of a function using Newton's method. It initializes values for xold and xnew, calculates fx and its derivative fxn, and iterates to find the root by updating xnew as xold - fx(xold)/fxn(xold) until the difference between successive values is less than 0.0000001. The number of iterations and final xnew value are then displayed.
