Homework Statement
Nother Q for today:
Let f(x)= (1/x)^x - x
(a)show that f(x)=0 has a solution
(b)show that there is only one solution to f(x)=0
(c)use Newton's Method to find the second approximation x2 of the solution to f(x) =
0 using the initial approximation x1 = 1/2
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know how to do part C just need a little kick in the right direction for the first part.
(1/x)^x - x = 0
(1/x)^x = x
xln(1/x) = lnx
