INTRODUCTION For my investigation, I will analyse the use three methods which are called the: change of sign, Newton-Raphson and the rearrangement method and are going to use them to find roots of different equations, and hence compare the merits and flaws of the methods with each other. I will analyse which is the best in terms of factors such as a speed of convergence and ease of use with available software and hardware.cocb 1. For Change of sign method (Decimal search) I use these equations: 2. For Newton-Raphson method (Fixed point iteration) I use these equations: -3ex +2x3+6=0 x3-2x2-2x+3=0 3. For Rearranging f(x) = 0 in the form x = g(x), I use these equations: In my course work, I will use computer (hardware) and Autograph (plot the graph), and Microsoft Excel (spreadsheet), Microsoft Word. ...
