Newton Raphson Root Finding Algorithm: Explanation and Example

This video describes what the Newton-Raphson root finding algorithm is and how to apply it. If you have any questions, please ask!

Without going into too much detail, this is a useful tool that allows you to solve an equation when you are not able to algebraically isolate a variable. It's basically a guess-and-check method, but designed to give you very good guesses as you go.

I also realized I messed up saying the quadratic formula. I should have said
y = 0 at x = [-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a).
