EEE 2212 Experiment 04 (Secant Method)

The document discusses numerical methods for solving non-linear equations, focusing on the secant method which uses the successive roots of secant lines to approximate a function's root. It provides details on implementing the secant method, including defining the secant line using two initial points on the function graph and computing the next x-value where the secant line intersects the x-axis. An example problem demonstrates finding the real root of an equation using the secant method through multiple iterations.

Methods for Solving non-linear equation
• Bisection method.
• False position method.
• Newton-Raphson method.
• Secant method.
Secant Method

• Roots are found by using algorithms, that uses


succession of roots of secant lines to better approximate
a root of a function.
• It is necessary to choose two initial values
Secant Method
A secant line is defined by using two points on graph of a function f(x).
 

It is necessary to choose these two initial points as and The next point
is obtained by computing x-value at which the secant line passing
through the points [,f()] and [,f()] has a y co-ordinate of zero.

Example
Find a real root of the equation of the equation
3
 𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) = 𝑥 − 2 𝑥 − 5=0
Solution:
 Let the two initial approximations be given by =3 and
 We have f=16 and f
Putting i =0 we obtain from secant formulae
= 

=  = 2.058823529
 Now, We have f

Example

Putting i =1 we obtain from secant formulae

= 

=  = 2.08126366
