Title: Background Example for Newton-Raphson Method
Summary: Learn what the Newton-Raphson method is based on. First, we revisit the concept of a tangent line, its relationship with the first derivative of a function and where a tangent line crosses the x-axis.
Learning Objectives: After watching this video, you will be able to find how the tangent line at a point in function determines the estimate of the root of a function.
