3. Use both the Secant and Newton's methods to find a root


3. Use both the Secant and Newton's methods to find a root of f(x) = 8e-*sinx - 1 (1) Take x, = 0.5, x 0.4 for the Secant method; (ii) Take x, = 0.3 for the Newton's method. Compare your results in terms of number of iterations needed to achieve a precision of 10-5.
