Find the maximum of the function given by

0.5 0.5
() = 1 + 2 (1 )+
1 + 2 1 + 2

using the following methods:

1. Fibonacci method with = 8

2. Golden section method with = 8

3. Newton method with 1 = 0.6 and = 0.01

4. Quasi-Newton method with 1 = 0.6, = 0.001, and = 0.01

5. Secant method with 1 = 0.0, 0 = 0.1, and = 0.01
