how to solve 10th root of 1.6

From numerical methods we can write
f%28x%29=x%5E10-1.6
and use Newton's method to get:

x%5Bn%2B1%5D=%289x%5Bn%5D%5E10%2B1.6%29%2F%2810x%5Bn%5D%5E9%29
which converges very fast:
x%5B1%5D=1.00%29%29%29%0D%0A%7B%7B%7Bx%5B2%5D=1.06
x%5B3%5D=1.0487037
x%5B4%5D=1.0481238
x%5B5%5D=1.0481223
