Finding the roots of a non-linear equation \\( f(x)=0 \\) is one of the most commonly occurring problems of applied mathematics. This work concerns the nineteenth century history of the fixed point and the bisection methods of root finding. We present the linear convergence properties of ...
When you want to find the root of an equation, think of it as finding the “x” value that makes the equation equal to zero. But this can be tricky, especially with complicated functions. That’s where numerical methods come to the rescue. These methods include strategies like the Bisectio...
To evaluate the solution to the equation, first, we find the auxiliary equation and then solve the roots of the equation. If the roots of the auxiliary equation are different and real, then the general solution to the equation is of the form: ...
The roots of a quadratic equation are the values that make the equation true. These roots are also the x-intercepts of the graph of y = ax2 + bx + c. Read Finding Complex Roots of Quadratic Equations Lesson Recommended for You Video: Solving Problems using the Quadratic Formula Video: ...
Finding Error: Proper Use of Square Root There appears to be a widespread misconception about the application of square roots. Students appear to be under the impression that the misconception arises because they are also asked to solve problems such as \({x^2} = 16\) ...

We can write out the cube root of 216 with a radical, like seen here: So in our case, we need to figure out what number will multiply by itself three times to give us 216. In other words, we need to solve for x in the equation seen here: Check...
The problem is the commercial version isn’t fun anymore and, maybe more problematically, it’s one of the nastiest unsustainable things anyone – especially an environmentalist who doesn’t want to be a hypocrite – can do. First, the not-fun part. You’ve been there. Crammed in a noisy...
