The iteration formula for Newton-Raphson method is

• $x_{n+1}=x_n+\frac{f\left(x_n\right)}{f'\left(x_n\right)}$

• $x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f\left(x_n\right)}{f'\left(x_n\right)}$

• $x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f'\left(x_n\right)}{f\left(x_n\right)}$

• $x_{n+1}=x_n+\frac{f'\left(x_n\right)}{f\left(x_n\right)}$

Newton-Raphson method will fail for the following reasons, except

• $f'\left(x_o\right)\$ is approaching zero

• $f'\left(x_o\right)\$ increases too rapidly

• $x_o$ is too far from the root

• $f\left(x\right)\$ is approaching zero
