The Method of False Position
web.mit.edu › 10 › WebOne such method is the Method of False Position. Here, we start with an initial interval [ x 1 , x 2 ], and we assume that the function changes sign only once in this interval. Now we find an x 3 in this interval, which is given by the intersection of the x axis and the straight line passing through ( x 1 , f ( x 1 )) and ( x 2 , f ( x 2 )).
Method of False Position (or Regula Falsi Method)
facstaff.cbu.edu › ~wschrein › mediaMethod of False Position (or Regula Falsi Method) nalib The method of false position is a hybrid of bisection and the secant method. It incorporates the bracketing of the bisection method with the secant method. You begin with two initial approximations p 0 and p 1 which bracket the root and have f p 0 f p 1 < 0. We stay with our original problem. restart;
