Secant Method Algorithm Guide

The document describes the secant method algorithm for finding the root of a function numerically. It provides steps for using the secant method, including choosing initial values, computing function values, updating the root estimate, and iterating until convergence within a tolerance. Source code is also included to implement the secant method for finding the root of the example function f(x)=cos(x)+2sin(x)+x^2.

ENE A
ALGORITHM
 
Step 1 : Start
Ex. Using secant method find the root of the
function in [-1,0]
F(x)= cosx+2sinx+x2
Step 2 : Get values of x1,
x2 and e; where x1, x2
are the initial values
and e is the stopping
criteria
Ex.
x1 = -1 , x2 = 0 , e = 0.001
Step 3: Compute f(x1)
and f(x2)
Ex.
F(x)= cosx+2sinx+x2 [-1,0]
x1 = -1 f(x1)= -0.14263
x2 = 0 f(x2)= 1
