Secant method Steps (Rule)
Step-1:
( ) ( )
Find points x 0 and x 1 such that x 0 < x 1 and f x 0 ⋅ f x 1 < 0.
Step-2: find next value using
x1 - x0
( )
Formula-1 : x 2 = x 0 - f x 0 ⋅
( Enter your problem )
( ) ( )
f x1 - f x0
x 0 ⋅ f (x 1 ) - x 1 ⋅ f (x 0 )
or Formula-2 : x 2 =

x1 - x0
( )
or Formula-3 : x 2 = x 1 - f x 1 ⋅
( ) ( )
f x1 - f x0
(Using any of the formula, you will get same x2 value)
Step-3:
( )
If f x 2 = 0 then x 2 is an exact root,
else x 0 = x 1 and x 1 = x 2
Step-4:
()
Repeat steps 2 & 3 until f x i = 0 or f x i| ( )| ≤ Accuracy
Example-1
Find a root of an equation f(x) = x 3 - x - 1 using Secant method
Solution:
Here x 3 - x - 1 = 0
Let f(x) = x 3 - x - 1
Here
x 0 1 2
f(x) -1 -1 5
1 st iteration :
x 0 = 1 and x 1 = 2
( ) ( )
f x 0 = f(1) = - 1 and f x 1 = f(2) = 5
x1 - x0
∴ x2 = x0 - f x0 ⋅( )

x 2 = 1 - ( - 1) ×
5 - ( - 1)
x 2 = 1.16667
( )
∴ f x 2 = f(1.16667) = - 0.5787
2 nd iteration :
x 1 = 2 and x 2 = 1.16667
( ) ( )
f x 1 = f(2) = 5 and f x 2 = f(1.16667) = - 0.5787
x2 - x1
∴ x3 = x1 - f x1 ⋅( )
( ) ( )
f x2 - f x1
1.16667 - 2
x3 = 2 - 5 ×
- 0.5787 - 5
x 3 = 1.25311
( )
∴ f x 3 = f(1.25311) = - 0.28536

0.05388 - ( - 0.28536)
x 5 = 1.32385
( )
∴ f x 5 = f(1.32385) = - 0.0037
5 th iteration :
x 4 = 1.33721 and x 5 = 1.32385
( ) ( )
f x 4 = f(1.33721) = 0.05388 and f x 5 = f(1.32385) = - 0.0037
x5 - x4
( )
∴ x6 = x4 - f x4 ⋅
( ) ( )
f x5 - f x4
