The following two methods are more efficient. . Regula falsi method false position method . Suppose that the derivatives f x and f x exist on the interval a 6 and the inequalities f x 0 and f x 0 hold for all x e a 6 . If f a f a 0 then we take x0 a for the zero approximation the subsequent approximations are given by the formulas f xn - - b-xn n 0 1 . f 6 - f xn If f a f a 0 then we take x0 b for the zero approximation the subsequent approximations are given by the formulas f xn - - a - xn n 0 1 . f a - f xn The regula falsi method has the first order of local convergence as n to xn 1 xn Xn 1 Xn Xn 1 C k Xn C where k is a constant depending on f x and c is the root of equation . The regula falsi method has a simple geometric interpretation. The straight line secant passing through the points a f a and b f b of the curve y f x meets the abscissa axis at the point x1 the value xn 1 is the abscissa of the point where the line passing through the points x0 f x0 and xn f xn meets the x-axis see Fig. a . Figure . Graphical construction of successive approximations to the root of equation by the regula falsi method a and the Newton-Raphson method b . . Newton-Raphson method. Suppose that the derivatives f x and f x exist on the interval a b and the inequalities f x 0 and f x 0 hold for all x e a b . . Functions of Several Variables. Partial Derivatives 263 If f a f a 0 then we take x0 a for the zero approximation if f b f b 0 then x0 b. The subsequent approximations are computed by the formulas _ f xn _n . xn 1 xn n 0 1 f xn If the initial approximation x0 is sufficiently close to the desired root c then the Newton-Raphson method exhibits quadratic convergence xn 1 - C M xn - C 2 2m where M max f z x and m min fz x . The Newton-Raphson method has a simple geometric interpretation. The tangent to the curve y f x through the point xn f xn
