Governing equation

x_{n + 1} = x_{n} - \frac{f ( x _{n} )}{f ^{'} ( x _{n} )}, x_{0} = 3, x_{⋆} \approx 2.0946

Reading this result: Starting at x0 = 3, Newton reached x ≈ 2.094551 in 6 steps. This is a simple root where f'(x) is well away from zero, so the error roughly squares each step (quadratic convergence) — the number of correct digits doubles per iteration.
