solve the equation sin2x+4cosx=x using newtons method, find the smallest equations root with preccision of 10^-4 in matlab

To solve the equation sin(2x) + 4cos(x) = x using Newton's method in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Define the function and its first derivative

main.m
syms x
f = sin(2*x) + 4*cos(x) - x;
f_prime = diff(f, x);

Step 2: Implement the Newton's method algorithm

main.m
x0 = 0;  % Initial guess
precision = 1e-4;  % Desired precision
max_iterations = 100;  % Maximum number of iterations
x_approx = x0;
for i = 1:max_iterations
    f_val = subs(f, x, x_approx);
    f_prime_val = subs(f_prime, x, x_approx);
    x_approx = x_approx - f_val / f_prime_val;  % Newton's method formula
    if abs(f_val) < precision
        break;
    end

Step 3: Print the smallest root approximation

main.m
x_approx

The x_approx value at the end will give you the smallest root approximation of the equation sin(2x) + 4cos(x) = x with a precision of 10^-4.
