False Position Method Example Explained

The document describes using the false position method to find the root of the function f(x)=sin10x+cos3x by taking initial guesses of 4 and 5 and iteratively calculating new values of x_r until converging on a value near 4.712389 for the root.

FALSE POSITION METHOD

Using False-Position Method, determine the root of 𝑓(𝑥)=𝑠𝑖𝑛10𝑥+𝑐𝑜𝑠3𝑥

𝑥_𝑟=𝑥_𝑢−(𝑓(𝑥_𝑢)(𝑥_𝑙−𝑥_𝑢))/(𝑓(𝑥_𝑙 )−𝑓(𝑥_𝑢)
Initial guesses: [4,5] formula:

Item 𝑥_(𝑙 ) 𝑥_𝑢 𝑥_𝑟 𝑓(𝑥_𝑙) 𝑓(𝑥_𝑢) 𝑓(𝑥_𝑟)


1 4 5 4.60856 1.5890 -1.02206 1.1680
2 4.60856 5 4.817323 1.1680 -1.02206 -1.1767
3 4.60856 4.817323 4.712554 1.1680 -1.17672 -0.0021
4 4.60856 4.712554 4.712363 1.1680 -0.00214 0.0003
5 4.712363 4.712554 4.712389 0.0003 -0.00214 0.0000
𝑙−𝑥_𝑢))/(𝑓(𝑥_𝑙 )−𝑓(𝑥_𝑢))
