Matlab Script To Find Root Using Fixed Point Iteration Method

The document describes a Matlab script that uses the fixed point iteration method to find roots of functions. It defines variables, checks that the function and fixed point function are valid, runs the fixed point iteration until error or iterations are reached, and logs the results. It also provides examples of using the script to find roots of cos(x)-x with different initial guesses and tolerances.

1. Use the MATLAB implementation of fixed-point method to find a root of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = cos(𝑥) − 𝑥 when the initial
guess x0 = 0 and 𝑔(𝑥) = cos(𝑥). Perform the computations until percentage approximate relative error (a(%)) is less than
εs=5%. You are required to fill the following table.

2. Find a root of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = cos(𝑥) − 𝑥 when the initial guess x0 = 0 and . You need to modify the
MATLAB code of gfunc and dgfunc accordingly. Perform the computations until percentage approximate relative error is
less than εs=1%. You are required to fill the following table.
