Betreff: [R] Finding root using Newton's method


I want generate R code to determine the real root of the polynomial
x^3-2*x^2+3*x-5. Using an initial guess of 1 with Newton's method.
Help please...

It gets a little suspicious when there are several people asking to 
determine the root of the exact same polynomial using the same method.  Is 
it really so hard to RSiteSearch for an appropriate keyword?
