2.example Nonlinear Equations

This document discusses several numerical methods for finding roots of equations: - The intermediate value theorem can be used to show that equations like f(x) = x - cos(x) have at least one root in a given interval. - The bisection method uses interval halving to approximate roots by repeatedly narrowing the interval containing the root. - The secant method approximates roots by finding the x-intercept of the secant line between successive points. - Newton's method approximates roots by using tangent lines and the derivative to generate improved estimates of the root.
