[root,fx,ea,iter]=falsepos(cat_cable,900,910,0.00001)
cat_cable = @(T) -35+T/10.*cosh(10./T*30)+30-T/10;
[root,fx,ea,iter]=bisect(cat_cable,908,909,0.00001)
cat_cable = @(T) -35+T/10.*cosh(10./T*30)+30-T/10;
[root,ea,iter]=mod_secant(cat_cable,900,910,0.00001)

ea  = 9.7092e-05

b)

lj = @(x) 4*0.039*((2.394./x).^12-(2.394./x).^6);

iter =  27

c)

function SSE = sse_of_parabola(K,xdata,ydata)
    % calculate the sum of squares error for a parabola given a function, func, and xdata and ydata
    % output is SSE=sum of squares error
    K1=K(1);
    K2=K(2);
    y_function = K1*xdata+1/2*K2*xdata.^2;
    SSE = sum((ydata-y_function).^2);
