CHAPTER 2
f ( x) = sin x − x
Use an initial guess of x0 = 0.5 and iterate until a 0.01%
2. Newton-Raphson Method
f ( xi )
xi +1 = xi −
f ' ( xi )
Example
Employ the Newton-Raphson method to determine the root of
Since f ( xi −1 ) − f ( xi )
f ' ( xi )
xi −1 − xi
Thus,
f ( xi )( xi −1 − xi )
xi +1 = xi −
f ( xi −1 ) − f ( xi )
Example
Apply the Secant method to determine the root of
