1. The secant method was used to find the root of the function f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x + 4, starting with initial guesses of x1 = -3 and x0 = -4. The approximate root found was -0.89693. 2. Repeating the secant method for the same function, but with initial guesses of x1 = 3 and x0 = 2, the approximate root was found to be 2.2301. 3. The secant method was applied to the function f(x) = sin(x) + cos(1+x) - 1 with different initial guesses each time. The approximate roots found
