Question:
(a) Show that the iterative method
xk+1 =
xk1f(xk) xkf(xk1)
f(xk) f(xk1)
is mathematically equivalent to the secant method for solving a scalar nonlinear equation f(x) = 0.
(b) When implemented in nite-precision oating-point arithmetic, what advantages or disadvantages
does the formula given in part (a) have compared with the formula for the secant method given in
Section 5.5.4?
