Use the Newton Raphson method to approximate the real zero close to x=1x = 1 until two successive approximations differ by less than 0.005 for the following function

f(x)=2x23f(x) = 2x^2 - 3

Starting with an initial value x1=1x_1 = 1, perform 2 iterations of Newton's Method on f(x)=x3x1f(x) = x^3 - x - 1 to approximate the root.
