It is required to find a root of the function: f ( x ) = x l o g ( x ) - P x

It is required to find a root of the function:
f(x)=xlog(x)-Px
Where P=9 and log is the natural logarithm "ln".
Using MATLAB, use (a) Newton-Raphson and (b) modified Secant algorithms to solve this equation.
Use a fixed starting point and change the error limit from 10-4 to 10-14 and plot the number of steps to reach the solution with respect to the selected error limit.
Select at least 10 different starting points and plot the number of steps to solve the question with respect distance of the selected starting guess to the root.
**NOTE:For both sections, use a single plot for Newton-Raphson and modified Secant.
