Use Newton's method to approximate a solution of the equation
`e^(0.6 x^2) + x - 5 = 0`.
Let ` x_0 = 2 ` be the initial approximation, and then calculate `x_1` and `x_2`.
` x_1 =`
` x_2 =`
Remember that Newton's method uses the formula for the next approximation based on the current one. Consider the function and its derivative, then apply the iterative process starting with the given initial approximation.
