ES 84 SecantMethod

Section: S789M89

Program for the problem using secant method:

function yuki=g(x)
//defining my function to be called later
yuki=(1/x^3)-(2/(x^2))+(1/x)-(2/3)
// letting epsilon to be equal to x
endfunction
i=1;

while i==1
//this while loop enables the user to decide wither to try the program again or not
xz=input("xz="); //inputing x-1 value
x0=input("x0=");
//inputing x0 value
disp("Please input the imax and es:")
imax=input("imax=");
//inputing the imax value
es=input("es="); //inputing the stopping criterion

//note that if the initial values given causes a divergence of the function an error might occur that
//is why we need to set our initial values that will not cause our function to diverge
