Secant method The secant method can be thought of as a finite difference approximation of Newton's method, where a derivative is replaced by a secant line. We use the root of a secant line (the value of x such that y=0) as a root approximation for function f. Suppose we have starting...
So without further ado, here's the cosecant graph in all its glory. (Observe that we use the same picture in our csc calculator.)Plot of csc(x) in <-2π,2π> range. From this picture alone, we can deduce quite a few interesting and important properties. For simplicity and for care...
To find the circumference of a circle using secant, we need to first find the length of the secant line. To do this, we need to find two points on the circumference of the circle and then use the distance formula to find the length of the line between those two points. Once we have...
