We will solve both equations using Newton’s Method. Recall the formula: $$ x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)} $$ --- ### i) $x \log_{10} x = 4.772393$, near $x = 6$ 1. Define function: $$ f(x) = x \log_{10} x - 4.772393 $$ Derivative: $$ f'(x) = \log_{10} x + \frac{x}{x \ln 10} = \log_{10} x + \frac{1}{\ln 10} $$ Since $\frac{1}{\ln 10} \approx 0.4343$, so $$ f'(x) = \log_{10} x + 0.4343 $$ 2. Initial guess: $x_0 = 6$ Compute $f(6)$ and $f'(6)$: $$ f(6) = 6 \cdot \log_{10} 6 - 4.772393 \approx 6 \cdot 0.778151 - 4.772393 \approx 4.668906 - 4.772393
