Question

Using Matlab, find the positive minimum point of the function f(x) = x^-2 * tan(x) by computing the zeros of f' (derivative of f) using Secant's method

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1: Algorithm:
  1. Start.
  2. Define the function f(x) and its derivative f'(x) using anonymous functions in MATLAB.
  3. Set the initial guesses x0 and x1, as well as tolerance for convergence and a maximum number of iterations.
  4. Implement the Secant method to find the critical point of f'(x):
    • Initialize a loop for a maximum number of iterations.
    • Calculate a new approximation x2 using the Secant formula.
    • Check for convergence by comparing the absolute difference between x2 and x1 with the tolerance.
    • Update values for the next iteration (shift x0 and x1).
    • Exit the loop if convergence is achieved.
  5. Evaluate f(x) the critical point x2 to find the minimum point.
  6. Display the critical point and the corresponding minimum value of f(x).
  7. End.
