Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider the function f(x) = x³ - 3x + 2. Identify suitable initial guesses x0 and x1 and apply the Secant Method to find a root.
💡 Hint: Calculate f(x) for both guesses and continue to iterate!
Question 2
Devise the Secant Method application for the equation g(x) = ln(x) - x + 1. Start with initial guesses x0 = 1 and x1 = 2.
💡 Hint: Ensure efficiency by checking the function's values at each guess!
