For most functions, however, it is difficult—if not impossible—to calculate their zeroes explicitly. In this section, we take a look at a technique that provides a very efficient way of approximating the zeroes of functions. This technique makes use of tangent line approximations and is behind the method used often by calculators and computers to find zeroes.

Starting from an initial guess, the method iteratively applies the formula \( x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)} \) to get closer to the actual root. Examples illustrate how to use Newton's Method for finding solutions and demonstrate its effectiveness, especially when analytical solutions are challenging.
