Newton-Raphson root finder — a TI-84 Plus CE program

By E-Code · updated 2026-09-26

NEWTON is a TI-BASIC program for the TI-84 Plus CE. Finds a root of x³-2x-5 using 8 Newton-Raphson iterations from x₀=2.

How it's checked

It is run on the TI-BASIC interpreter by E-Code's automated library checks, which also check a computed answer where one is easy to state. It has no oracle case file, so this page gives no case count.

Run it or put it on your calculator

• Open the library in the TI-84 Plus CE calculator and pick “Newton-Raphson root finder” (NEWTON).
• Put it on your own calculator with a computer and a USB cable, or type it in by hand.
