Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Using f(x) = ln(x) - 1, apply the Secant Method with x0 = 1 and x1 = 2. Compute the first two iterations and discuss convergence.
💡 Hint: Evaluate each step meticulously to see how closely you approach 'e'.
Question 2
Consider the function f(x) = x^3 - 2x - 5. Demonstrate the Secant Method with initial guesses x0 = 2 and x1 = 3. Show your work.
💡 Hint: Draw the secant lines or visualize the steps taken towards the root.
