Study Notes
False-Position Method (Regula Falsi Method)
- The method is used to find an approximate root of a continuous function f(x) defined on the interval [a, b].
- The function f(x) has opposite signs at a and b (i.e., f(a) × f(b) < 0), indicating a root between x3 and x2.
Example 1: f(x) = x^2 - 2
- The function has a root between x3 and x2, and the first iteration yields x4 = 1.3999.
- The process is repeated until the error |x_i - x_(i-1)| < ε, where ε is the desired error tolerance.
- The approximate root of f(x) = x^2 - 2 is x = 1.4142.
Example 2: f(x) = x log(x) - 1
- The function has a root between x2 and x1, and the first iteration yields x3 = 1.76154.
- The process is repeated until the error |x_i - x_(i-1)| < ε, where ε is the desired error tolerance.
- The approximate root of f(x) = x log(x) - 1 is x = 1.76322284.
Secant Method
- The method is used to find an approximate root of a function f(x) using the secant line approximation.
- The iterative formula for the secant method is x_(n+1) = x_n - f(x_n) × (x_n - x_(n-1)) / (f(x_n) - f(x_(n-1))).
- The process is repeated until the error |x_i - x_(i-1)| < ε, where ε is the desired error tolerance.
Example 3: f(x) = x^2 - 2
- The function has a root between x1 and x2, and the first iteration yields x3 = 1.41466898.
- The process is repeated until the error |x_i - x_(i-1)| < ε, where ε is the desired error tolerance.
- The approximate root of f(x) = x^2 - 2 is x = 1.4142115.
