We now discuss another method that is of
general applicability. We begin with the
equation
Simple iteration method
Once an iteration function φ(𝑥) is chosen, one carries
out the following successive iterations
and in general

It is clear from this equation that Newton’s method cannot be continued if for some 𝑛.
We will note that the method is most effective when 𝑓′ is bounded away from zero near the exact root α

Drawbacks of Newton-Raphson method
Newton-Raphson method is an extremely powerful technique, but it has three
major difficulties:
The convergence of the method is not assured as in the case of Bisection
method. Thus, when using computer for calculations it is preferred to use the
The method fails in the case of multiple roots since in this case 𝑓′(𝑥) = 0.
Bisection method or any other method rather than the Newton-Raphson method
The need to know the value of the derivative of 𝑓(𝑥) at each approximation
is a major difficulty. Frequently 𝑓′(𝑥) is far more difficult and needs more
arithmetic operations to calculate than 𝑓(𝑥).
Advantage:
Convergence rate is one of the fastest.
