False Position Method
False Position Method
• The Regula–Falsi Method is a numerical method for estimating the roots of a polynomials f(x)
and transcendental with one variable or unknown and is old method .
• we choose two points a and b such that f (a) and f (b) are of opposite signs [f(a)*f(b)<0].
• Work on intermediate value theorem.
• Trail and error
GRAPHICAL REPRESENTAION OF FALSE POSITION METHOD
• First
we draw a chord between A and B
• The chord passes through x-axis at
Certain point that have coordinates
according to function or curve.
