2. Secant Method (10 pts) Answer the following questions relating to the secant method. (a) Derive the equation for finding point t n terms of , and -1 starting from the equation for a straight line. Follow the derivation in the slides 220-03- Nonlinear Equations.pdf" (b) Code in MATLAB. Determine the real root of f(z) = Inx-snr. Start the computation with values of zo-0.5 and x,-5.0 and iterate until error (%) falls below 0.01. Give your final error and number of iterations
