Description:

Initial guesses for the root.

Selects Equation mode; displays the left end of the equation. Solves for X; displays the result.

Final two estimates are the same to four decimal places.f(x) is very small, so the approximation is a good root.
Example: An Equation with Two Roots.Find the two roots of the parabolic equation:x2 + x – 6 = 0.
