False Position Method / Regula Falsi Method.

Formula for two points from the equation of line:

y− y1 x−x 1
=
y 2− y 1 x 2−x 1

Let:
Take y=0 & replacing equation of line: -
( X 1 , Y 1 ) by ( x ¿ ¿ 0 f ( x 0 ) )¿ two-point formula & ( X 2 , Y 2 ) by ( x ¿ ¿ 1 f ( x1 ) ) ¿.
Now:
0−f ( x 0 ) x−x 0
= =
f ( x 1 )−f ( x 0) x 1−x 0

f ( x 0 ) ( x 1−x 0 )
= =x −x0
f ( x 1 ) −f ( x 0 )

f ( x 0 ) x1 −f ( x 0 ) x0
= + x 0=x
f ( x 1 ) −f ( x 0 )

−f ( x 0 ) x 1+ f ( x 0 ) x 0 + x 0 [f ( x 1 )−f ( x 0 ) ]
=
f ( x1 ) −f ( x 0 )

−f ( x 0 ) x 1+ f ( x 0 ) x 0 + x 0 f ( x 1 )−x 0 f ( x 0 )
=
f ( x 1 )−f ( x 0 )

−f ( x 0 ) x 1+ x 0 f ( x 1 )
=
f ( x 1 )−f ( x 0 )
 f ( x 1 ) x 0 + f ( x0 ) x 1
x 2=
f ( x 1 )−f ( x 0 )
