False-Position Method

The document presents a MATLAB implementation of the False-Position Method for finding roots of a cubic function. It iteratively refines the estimates of the root based on the function values at the lower and upper bounds until the approximate relative error is within a specified tolerance. The results of each iteration, including the current estimates and errors, are displayed in a structured format.
