Numerical Method

The document discusses using the False Position method to find the root of the equation f(x)=x^3-x-1. It provides the values of f(x) at x=0, 1, and 2, showing that the root lies between 1 and 2. It explains that to find the root, the values of f(x0) and f(x1) need to be calculated and then a new value x2 can be found using the False Position formula. The document also mentions roundoff error and truncation error in numerical analysis and provides examples 4.5 and 4.6.

Find a root of an equation f(x)=x3-x-1 using False Position


method

Solution:
Here,
X 0 1 2
F(x) -1 -1 5

Here f(1)=-1 < 0 and f(2)=5 > 0

∴ Now, Root lies between x0=1 and x1=2

f(x)=x3-x-1
calculate f(x0) and f(x1)
find x2 using the formula.
