Linear interpolation method for locating a root in a given interval

The linear interpolation method for locating a root in a given interval is a simple extension to the change of sign method. The following video example demonstrates this method. Example: Find an approximation to the root of x3 + 2x – 2 = 0 using linear interpolation twice over, given that the root lies between 0 and […]

Bisection method for locating a root in a given interval

The bisection method is a simple extension to the change of sign method where an interval in which a root lies is continually bisected (cut in half) until the root is found to the required degree of accuracy. The following example is used to demonstrate this: Example: Find the root of to 1 decimal place […]
