Step 1
Calculate the next estimate of the root from two initial guesses
xi 1
f ( xi )( xi xi 1 )
xi
f ( xi ) f ( xi 1 )
Find the absolute relative approximate error
xi 1- xi
a =

Step 2
Find if the absolute relative approximate error is greater
than the prespecified relative error tolerance.
If so, go back to step 1, else stop the algorithm.
Also check if the number of iterations has exceeded the
maximum number of iterations.

Example 1
A trunnion has to be cooled
before it is shrink fitted into a
steel hub
The equation that gives the
temperature x to which the
trunnion has to be cooled to
obtain the desired contraction
is given by the following

equation.

Example 1 Cont.
Use the secant method of finding
roots of equations
a) To find the temperature x to
which the trunnion has to be
cooled. Conduct three
iterations to estimate the root
of the above equation.
b) Find the absolute relative
approximate error at the end
of each iteration, and
c)

the number of significant digits
at least correct at the end of
each iteration.
