Solution of equations by numerical methods This investigation is to find equation solutions using three methods: 1. Change of sign using bisection, decimal search or linear interpolation. 2. Newton - Raphson. 3. Rearrangement of the equation f(x) = 0 into the form x = g(x). The change of sign methods are systematic searches, which use the positive and negative signs of the f(x) solutions to find the location of the root within the intervals found using the graph of the function curve. The change of sign method I have chosen to use within my investigation is the decimal search method. Fixed point iteration requires finding a single value or point as an estimation for the value of x, rather than establishing an interval as in the change of sign methods. The Newton - Raphson method and the rearrangement of equation f(x) = 0 into the form x = g(x) will be used to investigate this...
