    Regula-Falsi or the False Position method is an old trial-and-error technique for solving equations with one unknown variable. It works by making an initial guess for the variable's value, calculating the equation's output, and adjusting the guess based on whether the output is too high or low. The method relies on linear interpolation to iteratively home in on the correct value by taking the x-value between the last two guesses that would produce an output of 0 based on their relative positions on the y-axis. An example is provided to demonstrate solving an equation using this technique.

    Regula – Falsi or False

    Position Method

    Prepared by: Yours Truly =)


    Regula Falsi/False Position method is a very old
    method for solving an equation with one
    unknown, that in modified form, is still in use. In
    simple terms, the method is trial and error
    technique of using test ("false") values for the
    variable and then adjusting the test value
    according to the outcome. This is sometimes
    also referred to as
    "guess and check".
    The concept:
    In this method, we need to familiarize ourselves with
    linear interpolation to get x. By doing so, we must
    recall the concept of similar triangles:
    Isolating the figure, we recall the application of
    similar triangle:
    Therefore, we can simply memorize the
    formula:
    1
    Xn = XL + (XR – XL)[YL/(YL – YR)]
    Example: Solve for x given the equation using the Regular Falsi/False
    Position method.
    e-x – x = 0

    Use this table for convenience:

    i XL XR f(xL) f(xR) Xn f(xn)
