Matlab and roots
Not what you're looking for?
Hi,
I need help in using Matlab to build an m file for
solving non-linear equations using the Newton-Raphson
method (or another recommended method.) I need a clear
explanation of the process of creating an m file, and
also using it to find the roots of the following two
equations as examples:
1) f(x) = exp(-x) - sin((pi/2)*x)
2) x^5 - 17*x^4 + 124*x^3 - 508*x^2 + 1035*x - 875 = 0
The method must also find complex roots if they exist.
