Assignment 5

The document contains a C program implementing the Regula-Falsi method to find the root of the function f(x) = x^3 - x - 1. It prompts the user for two initial guesses and iteratively calculates the root until the desired accuracy is achieved. The output includes the iterations and the final root value, which is approximately 1.525944.

Assignment 5: Regula-Falsi

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <math.h>

#define EPSILON 0.0001 // Desired accuracy

// Function for which we are finding the root


float f(float x)
{
return x * x * x - x - 1; // Example: f(x) = x^3 - x - 1
}

void main()
{
float a, b, c;
int i = 0;

clrscr();

printf("Enter two initial guesses (a and b):\n");


scanf("%f %f", &a, &b);

if (f(a) * f(b) >= 0)


{
printf("Incorrect initial guesses. f(a) and f(b) must have opposite signs.\n");
getch();
return;
}

printf("\nIter\t a\t\t b\t\t c\t\t f(c)\n");

do
{
c = (a * f(b) - b * f(a)) / (f(b) - f(a)); // Regula Falsi formula
printf("%d\t %f\t %f\t %f\t %f\n", ++i, a, b, c, f(c));

if (f(a) * f(c) < 0)


b = c;
else
a = c;
} while (fabs(f(c)) > EPSILON);

printf("\nThe root is: %f\n", c);

getch();
}
Output:
Enter two initial guesses (a and b):
