Homework #3

#Question 1 Results

Part (i)

solver	initial guess(es)	ea	number of iterations
falsepos	1, 50	2.16e-06	10
bisect	1, 50	3.94e-07	6
newtraph	1, 50	9.92e-06	24
mod_secant	1, 50	7.63e-06	624

Part(iii)

The file used to create the plots is "HW3_Script this file contains a series of for loops that take data from the root functions and places them into a "Table" from here it organizes the data and titles it. The convergence plot uses the information from the "Table" to plot the information on a a graph that is setup by calling the "setdefaults" function.

Part(ii)

check "convergence.png" graph
