Code to copy:

%function to calculate secant value

function [x,a] = secanttest2(f, x1, x2,in, count)

%use f1 and f2 functions for x1 and x2

f1=f(x1);
f2=f(x2);

%plot the function sin x + 3 cos x -2

f=inline('sin(x)+3.*cos(x)-2')

%start for loop from 1 to count-1

for a=1:count-1
%calculate x
x = x2 - (f2*(x2-x1)/(f2-f1));
%plot fx
fx=f(x);

%equate and plot the functions

x1=x2;
f1=f2;
fun=abs(x2-x);
x2=x;f2=fx;

%print the values

fprintf('a = %g, x = %g, fx = %g\n',a,x,fx)

%check for the conditions and break

if fun<in, break,
end
end
