Question

Prove that the order of convergence of secant method is 1+ p 5 2

Answer 1

Answer:

then the sequence is said to converge to 's' with order of convergence R. The number A is called the asymptotic error constant. then the number of significant digits are approximately doubled in each step. at x = s, g''(s) need not be zero, hence Newton-Raphson method is of order two.
