finding root of any polynomail using Newton Raphson method

finding root of any polynomial using Newton Raphson method

*copy the file to your current directory.

Example-
If you want to find a root of
f(x)=6x^3+8x^2-3x^1+78,
write the command-

find_root([78 -3 8 6]);

on MATLAB command window.

*If you want to find another root, change the 100 in,
x=100; (4th line of find_root.m file) to another value as your preference and
rerun
find_root([78 -3 8 6]); command.

*for further details about the algorithm used to calculate
roots. refer
