what is the disadvantage of the method of false position?
Answers
Answer: False position method is also known as Regula-Falsi method. It's a very simple and old method for finding the real root. Moreover, it is also used for solving an equation in one unknown variable.
Disadvantages:-
1. In some cases it may show as error as it is a trial and may also take much time to know the exact and correct root.
2. Only a single unknown equation can be calculated through it.
Answer:
Also known as regula falsi, false position is a method used to solving problems in algebra, arithmetic and calculus. It uses test values for variables to solve a problem, and then adjusts them accodingly.
It is a kind of error and trial or guess and check method that successively improves with iteration using the method of approximation.
One major disadvantage of false position method is one interval definition can get stuck during the process.
