Introduction In maths equations can be solved using various methods. A very common and efficient method in solving equations is algebraically. But not all equations can be solved algebraically; these equations must be solved using numeric methods. I will study three specific numeric methods on different equations. ~ Change of sign, decimal search process. ~ Newton-Raphson method. ~ Re-arrangement method. I will be testing the numeric methods with separate equations which cannot be solved algebraically. I will also apply all of the methods to one of the equations and check if all the methods give me the same value for the root I want to find. Change of Sign, Decimal Search To find the root of the equation f(x) = 0 means finding values of x for the graph y = f(x). The change of sign method works on the bases that the y = f(x) graph changes signs when it crosses the...
