    This document summarizes the use of Newton's method and bisection method to find a root of a function between 0 and 1. It shows: 1) The function f(c) = 0 when a = 2.5, with a root at c = 0.4. 2) A table showing 10 iterations of Newton's method converging to a root near 0.4. 3) A statement that Newton's method finds the root more quickly but bisection method finds a more accurate root, though it requires more computations.

    1.

    i) f(c) =
    When a = 2.5, therefore f(c) =

    =0
    c = 0.4 (shown)

    Therefore, theres a root at the interval between 0 and 1.


    ii) 10 iterations,

    iii) The Newtons method will help us get the result quickly as it is not complicated. Even
    though this Bisection Method is a bit complicated and required more data, but the final
    answer is more accurate.
