The numerical method that uses the formula xₙ₊₁ = xₙ − f(xₙ)/f'(xₙ) is:

A Bisection method

B Newton-Raphson method

C Secant method

D Euler method

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Newton-Raphson iteratively refines root estimates using the function and its derivative.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?
