Solution of Transcendental Equation

This document discusses five methods for solving algebraic and transcendental equations: iteration, bisection, Newton-Raphson, Regula-Falsi, and secant. It provides details on the iteration method, including that it involves finding successive approximations of a root by using the function value at the previous approximation. The sequence of approximations will converge to a root if the derivative of the function is less than 1 in the interval containing the root. Examples are given to find roots of equations using the iteration method.

Solution of Transcendental Equation

We discuss four method to solve algebraic and


transcendental equation:
I. Iteration method
II. Bisection method
III. Newton-Raphson method
IV. Regula-Falsi method
V. Secant metod

An important Statement

• To locate a root of an equation f (x) 0 the following statement


of differential calculus is useful .

• If f (x) is continuous in the interval  a, b and f (a) and f (b) are


of opposite signs then the equation f (x) 0 has at least one
root lying between a and b

2
METHOD OF ITERATION
METHOD OF SUCCESSIVE ITERATION

• Let f (x)0 be the given equation ,algebraic or transcendental.


Suppose the equation can be expressed in the form.
x  g ( x)
• Where g ( x ) is a continuous function.
• Let x 0 be an approximate value of the root of the function.
Now the value g ( x 0 ) of the function g ( x ) at x  x 0 ,is
the next approximation of the root, called first approximation
and we put,
x1  g ( x 0 )

3
• Similarly, the second, third, fourth, etc, approximations are
given by

x2  g(x1 ), x3  g(x2 ), x4  g(x3 ),xn  g(xn1 )


• The sequence  x n   x 0 , x 1 , x 2 ,  x n , 
is called the sequence of successive appproximations.
the iterative process is said to converge, if the sequence  xn
converges to a root of the equation.

4
CONDITION FOR THE CONVERGES

• Let f (x) 0, be the equation, which can be written in the form
• xg(x), g(x) is a continuous function. let  be the root
• f (x) 0 and I be the interval containing  .Then for any x0 I
the sequence of successive approximations  x n  converges
to  if
g / ( x ) 1

for all x I
