The point P is one of the points of intersection between the curve

y=x3+3x2+1

and the line

y=x+2

  1. Use the Newton-Raphson method, with a starting value of x=34, to find 3 further approximations for the x coordinate of P.

  2. Hence, find an approximate value for the y coordinate of P.


Give the approximate y coordinate of P, to 3 significant figures.
