This is a code I have created to calculate numerically the 5th root. Something is wrong.
x = 0.05;
x_old = 500;
iter = 0;
while abs(x_old-x) > 10^-3 && x ~= 0
x_old = x;
x = x - (5*x*x*x*x);
iter = iter + 1;
end

If n is the number whose 5th root has to be calculated:
function f = fifth_root(n)
xold=10;
for i = 1:100
xnew = xold - (xold*xold*xold*xold*xold-n)/(5*xold*xold*xold*xold);
xold=xnew;
end
f=xnew
end

Yes. That will work. And very good of you to accept your own answer when I spent the time to find the bug in your code and explain how to fixit.

What is wrong? I'd start by pointing out that this is NOT Newton's method as you wrote it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method
Newton (or Newton/Raphson if you wish) has
xnew = xold - f(xold)/f'(xold)
So, if f(x) = x^5 - y, then what should you have written there? So, y is the value you want to compute a root of. Clearly, the 5th root of y will produce zero in f, as I wrote it.
So now you need to write the Newton iteration to use fas I wrote it, as well as the derivative of f.

while abs(xold-xnew)<10^-3
xnew = xold - (xold*xold*xold*xold*xold)/(5*xold*xold*xold*xold)
xold=xnew
end
