To find the root of the equation 𝑓(𝑥) = (0.9−0.4𝑥)/𝑥 using bisection and false position methods in MATLAB, you can follow the code below:
main.m1682 chars70 lines
Make sure to save this code in a MATLAB script file (e.g., root_finder.m
). When you run the script, it will find the root of the equation using both the bisection method and the false position method and display the results.
Note that in both methods, we check if the interval contains a root by ensuring that the function values at the interval endpoints have different signs. If they have the same sign, it means that there is no root or there are multiple roots within the interval.
Also, we define the desired accuracy (epsilon
) to determine when to stop the iteration loop. In the above code, we set epsilon
to 1e-6, meaning the iteration will continue until the interval size becomes smaller than 1e-6.
Remember to provide appropriate initial interval bounds (a
and b
) that contain the root you are looking for.
