The document summarizes four root-finding methods - bisection, Newton-Raphson, false position, and secant - and then focuses on the Newton-Raphson method. It states that the Newton-Raphson method is an iterative process that uses the tangent line at an initial guess to improve the estimate of the root in each iteration. It provides an example of how the method works graphically to successively refine the root estimate.

Differences Between Bisection Method, Newton-Raphson Method, False Position Method,


and Secant Method.

-Bisection Method is a quick and reliable method for finding a function's root, but is slower
than other approaches, on the other hand, The Newton-Raphson Method is an iterative process
for finding the root of a nonlinear equation, nevertheless, The false position method can be used
to find functions' roots iteratively using linear interpolation, which converges more quickly than
bisection, but may take longer if the function is flat, Otherwise, The secant method is an
iterative process that approximates the tangent line using two initial guesses, converging faster
than the Newton-Raphson method.

The Newton-Raphson method-
As in earlier discussions, we focus on the function f's single root, xr (x). The Newton-Raphson
method starts with a preliminary root estimate, denoted x0xr, and then uses the tangent of f(x)
at x0 to enhance the initial root estimate. Finding the point at which the line tangent to f(x) at
x0 crosses the x-axis yields the improvement, denoted x1. Figure 13.5 illustrates this for a
single iteration of the Newton-Raphson method (a). The following iteration produces x2 the
same way by using the line tangent to f(x) at x1. Figure 13.5 illustrates this (b). The illustration
shows a positive local gradient, but the method also applies to functions with a negative local
gradient. The direction of the tangent line is determined by the sign of the local gradient at each
xn.
