Describe your change:

Contributes to #8098

Consolidated the duplicate implementations of the Newton-Raphson method. I chose to keep the implementation in maths/numerical_analysis/newton_raphson_2.py, which approximates the derivative, because it avoids any potential issues with eval without requiring the user to input the derivative function.
