 Iterative Methods

These methods are done using an initial approximation

followed by a number of steps to reach nearer to the
solution.
These are some Iterative Methods:
1. Bisection Method
2. Newton Raphson Method
3. Regula Falsi Method

 Newton Raphson Method

Let f(x) = 0 be an algebraic or a transcendental equation.

Then, one of the method to find it’s approximate solution is
Newton Raphson Method.
The formula for finding the next approximate root is
