\n\tRecall that the Newton-Raphson method is defined by:
\\[x_{n+1}=x_n-\\frac{g(x_n)}{g'(x_n)}\\]
where we would like to find the root of the equation $g(x)=0$
In this question we have:
\\[\\simplify[std]{g(x) = Exp({m} * x) + {b} * x + { -a}} \\Rightarrow \\simplify[std]{g'(x) = {m}*Exp({m} * x) + {b}}\\]
Substituting these expressions into the formula we have:
\\[x_{n+1} =\\simplify[std]{ x_n -((Exp({m} * x_n) + {b} * x_n + { -a}) / ({m} * Exp({m} * x _n) + {b}))}\\]
which can be rearranged to give:
\\[x _{n + 1} = \\simplify[std]{(({m} * x_n -1) * Exp({m} * x _n) + {a}) / ({m} * Exp({m} * x _n) + {b})}\\]
(In your answers you would input $x$ rather than $x_n$.)
\n\tIn the following let $\\displaystyle f(x)=\\simplify[std]{ (({m} * x -1) * Exp({m} * x ) + {a}) / ({m} * Exp({m} * x ) + {b})}$
\n\tb)
\n\tIf $x_0=2$ then $x_1$ is simply given by:
\\[\\simplify[std]{x_1 = (({2*m} -1) * Exp({2*m}) + {a}) / ({m} * Exp({2*m}) + {b})}\\]
which to 4 decimal places is: $\\;\\;x_1= \\var{ans}$
\n\tWe find on running the iteration that the first six values are:
\n\t\\[\\begin{align}x_1&=f(x_0)=f(2)&=\\var{results[1]}\\\\x_2&=f(x_1)=f(\\var{results[1]})&=\\var{results[2]}\\\\x_3&=f(x_2)=f(\\var{results[2]})&=\\var{results[3]}\\\\x_4&=f(x_3)=f(\\var{results[3]})&=\\var{results[4]}\\\\x_5&=f(x_4)=f(\\var{results[4]})&=\\var{results[5]}\\\\x_6&=f(x_5)=f(\\var{results[5]})&=\\var{results[6]}\\end{align}\\]
\n\tSo the solution to the equation to four decimal places for $0 \\le x \\le 1$ is $x=\\var{precround(ans1,4)}$

\n\t\t\t$p(x_n)=\\;\\;$[[0]] In your answer use $x$ instead of $x_n$.
\n\t\t\t$g'(x_n)=\\;\\;$[[1]] In your answer use $x$ instead of $x_n$.
