derivative and newton raphson

[DDCane]

i have made a code for finding a derivative and now im trying to use it to help me with a code for the newton raphson method:

def derivative (f,x,h):
    import math
    return float(1/(2*h)) * (f(x+h) - f(x-h))
 
def solve (f,x0,h):
    delta= f(x(n))/fp(x(n)
        for x(n+1) in solve():
            x(n)-delta

the first def works fine but i cant get the second def to work can anyone see what im doing wrong?

Hello!
(Newton-Raphson Method)
Can anyone describe how this code work?
What is depth, and how is solve working?
The function derivative only give us the derivative of a function:
for example:

>>> derivative(math.sin, math.pi, 0.0001)
-0.9999999983354435
 

But how is solve work?
solve use derivative function.

def derivative (f, x, h):
    return float((f(x + h) - f(x))) / h
 
def solve(f, x0, h, depth):
    if depth > 0:
        delta = f(x0) / derivative(f, x0, h)
        return solve(f, x0 - delta, h, depth - 1)
    else:
        return x0
