Newton’s method linearizes the function using ___________(a) McLaurin series(b) Laurent series(c) Taylor series(d) Fourier seriesI had been asked this question during an interview for a job.This interesting question is from Numerical Methods topic in section Numerical Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (C) Taylor series

Explanation: Newton’s METHOD USES the first two TERMS of Taylor’s series to linearize the non-linear system. This is further simplified to get the formula to be iterated and get the roots.
