Muller’ s method
In this method, we will approximate the function y = f (x) by a second-degree curve
p2 (x) in the neighborhood of the root.

Solving Eqs. (2) for the constants A, B and C, we have

We can obtain the quadratic polynomial (1) by using the values of constants A, B
and C from Eqs. (3). The approximation to the root of equation, f x ( )=0 is given
by the root of the following quadratic equation
Note that this equation will introduce the risk of that the problem of subtractive
cancellation will occur in cases where 𝐵 ≫ 4AC.
This equation will yield both roots of the polynomial. The one
that is useful for the iterative system is the one obtained by
setting the sign to the same ±sign as b.
Note that the sign in the denominator of the Eq. (4) is chosen, so that the
denominator becomes largest in the magnitude. The method can be used to
obtain the complex root, when
