Approximate the zero(s) of the function. Use Newton's Method and continue the process until two successive approximations differ by less than 0.001. Then find the zero(s) using a graphing utility and compare the results.
f(x) = x3 - 4.9x2 + 6.79x - 2.871

x= x = (Largest Value)
Approximate the fixed point of the function to two decimal places. [A fixed point x0 of a function f is a value of x such that f(x0) = x0.]
f(x) = -2 ln x
x0 =
