  1. A \(9.821\)
  2. B \(9.814\)
  3. C \(9.715\)
  4. D \(9.915\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(9.814\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(\quad x_{0}=14, f(x)=x^{2}-78.8\)
and \(f^{\prime}(x)=2 x\)
\(\therefore x_{1}=x_{0}-\frac{f\left(x_{0}\right)}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{0}\right)} \)
\(=14-\frac{(14)^{2}-(78.8)}{2 \times 14}=9.814\)
