You could graph:

Answered by Reiny
you mean Newton's "iterative" method
sure, why not?
x^3 = 3^x
let y = x^3 - 3^x
dy/dx = 3x^2 - ln3(3^x)

newx= x - (x^3 - 3^x)/(3x^2 - ln3 (3^x) )
start with x = 2.9
newx = appr 3.0471... using that
newx = appr 3.0081... using that
newx = appr 3.00006996 , not bad
