Instead of using tangent lines to the graph we may use secants .
Secant Method - Mathematical Python
www.math.ubc.ca › ~pwalls › math-pythonSecant Method The secant method is very similar to the bisection method except instead of dividing each interval by choosing the midpoint the secant method divides each interval by the secant line connecting the endpoints. The secant method always converges to a root of f ( x) = 0 provided that f ( x) is continuous on [ a, b] and f ( a) f ( b) < 0.
