\section{Equations}

The equation to be solved is xcosx-(2x^2) +3x -1 = 0. The method will be applied to this equation for the interval of x-coordinates:

\begin{align}
    x_{lower} = 0.2, \quad x_{upper} = 0.3, \quad x_{lower}^2 = {0.2}^2 = 0.04
\end{align}

\begin{align}
    x_{lower}^2 = {0.2}^2 = 0.04, \quad x_{upper}^2 = {0.3}^2 = 0.09
\end{align}

\begin{align}
    x_{lower}^3 = {0.2}^3 = 0.008
\end{align}

\begin{align}
    x_{lower}^4 = {0.2}^4 = 0.0016
\end{align}

and,

\begin{align}
    x_{lower}^5 = {0.2}^5 = 0.00032
\end{align}

And,

\begin{align}
    x_{upper}^2 = {0.3}^2 = 0.09, \quad x_{upper}^3 = {0.3}^3 = 0.027, \quad
    x_{upper}^4 = {0.3}^4 = 0.0656, \quad x_{upper}^5 = {0.3}^5 = 0.09723.
\end{align}

Now, we'll apply the False Position method to calculate x.

\subsection{Procedure}

1. Choose the first guess $x_1$ and $x_2$. In this case, $x_1 = x_{lower}$, $x_2 = x_{upper}$.

2. Calculate $f_1 = x_1 * cos(x_1) - (2 * x_1^2) + 3 * x_1 - 1$ and $f_2 = x_2 * cos(x_2) - (2 * x_2^2) + 3 * x_2 - 1$.

3. After getting f1 and f2, we calculate the slope of this line as (f2 - f1) / (x2 - x1), where x2 - x1 is the change in x-coordinate.

4. We have assumed that the slope (m) should be negative for roots. It means x_2 is on the left side of the root and x_1 is on the right side.

5. The new guess (x3) is given by the formula.

    x3 = x1 - (x1 - x2) / m.

6. Repeat the steps with x3 and x2. Iterate until the required accuracy is obtained.

7. More precisely, the formula for x3 is:

    x_{n+1} = x_n - f(x_n) / f'(x_n).

8. Replace xn with the first approximation and the value of fn, fn+1, and fn-1 with the previous rounds of approximations.

\subsection{Results}

1. The first guess, x1 = 0.2, x2 = 0.3.

2. Calculate f1 = 0.2 * cos(0.2) - 2 * (0.2)^2 + 3 * 0.2 - 1 = -0.56

3. Calculating f2 = 0.3 * cos(0.3) - 2 * (0.3)^2 + 3 * 0.3 - 1 = -0.36

4. The Slope (m) = (f2 - f1) / (x2 - x1) = (-0.36 - (-0.56)) / (0.3 - 0.2) = -0.48.

5. The Slope (m) is negative; hence, x2 is on the left side of the root and x1 is on the right side.

6. The New guess (x3) is given as.

    x3 = x1 - (x1 - x2) / m. = 0.2 - (0.2 - 0.3) / -0.48 = 0.1956.

7. New function values for x3 are:

    f1 = -0.6442, f2 = -0.7252, m = -0.1245.

8. Using x3; f1 = -0.4309, f2 = -0.5372, m = -0.1033.

9. Using x4; f1 = -0.6502, f2 = -0.5079, m = -0.1423.

10. The next root is 0.2043.

11. Replace xn with the first approximation and the value of fn, fn+1, and fn-1 with the previous rounds of approximat..

   x1 = 0.2043, fn = -0.6502, fn+1 = -0.5079, and fn-1 = -0.4309.

12. The slope (m) = (fn+1 - fn) / (xn - xn-1) = (-0.5079 - (-0.6502)) / (0.2043 - 0.2043) = -0.1229.

13. New guess (x2) = x1 - (x1 - x2) / m = 0.2043 - (0.2043 - 0.2071) / -0.1229 = 0.2049.

14. Next function values: fn = -0.5244, fn+1 = -0.4813, fn-1 = -0.6502.

15. Slope (m) = (fn+1 - fn) / (xn - xn-1) = (-0.4813 - (-0.5244)) / (0.2049 - 0.2043) = -0.1026.

16. The New guess (x3) = x2 - (x2 - x3) / m = 0.2049 - (0.2049 - 0.2055) / -0.1026 = 0.2052.

17. New function values: fn = -0.5047, fn+1 = -0.4119, fn-1 = -0.5244.

18. Slope (m) = (fn+1 - fn) / (xn - xn-1) = (-0.4119 - (-0.5047)) / (0.2052 - 0.2049) = -0.0868.

19. The new guess (x4) = x3 - (x3 - x4) / m = 0.2052 - (0.2052 - 0.2046) / -0.0868 = 0.2048.

20. Calculated value is finally root is Approximate value: -0.2048. Based on the passage above, How do I calculate the slope m in the False Position Method, and what is its role in determining whether the guess in step 4 is on the right or left side of the root?

The False Position Method (also known as the Regula-Falsi method) is a numerical method used to find the root of a function. Given two initial guesses, it iteratively selects a new guess as the intersection of the secant line through the previous guesses. We'll apply this method to find the root of the function $f(x)=x\cos x-(2x^2) +3x -1$.

First, let's verify that the function changes sign on the given intervals, ensuring a root exists in each.

For [0.2, 0.3]:
$$f(0.2)=0.2\cos(0.2)-(2\cdot0.2^2)+(3\cdot0.2)-1\approx-0.440$$
$$f(0.3)=0.3\cos(0.3)-(2\cdot0.3^2)+(3\cdot0.3)-1\approx0.015$$

For [1.2, 1.3]:
$$f(1.2)=1.2\cos(1.2)-(2\cdot1.2^2)+(3\cdot1.2)-1\approx-0.426$$
$$f(1.3)=1.3\cos(1.3)-(2\cdot1.3^2)+(3\cdot1.3)-1\approx0.151$$

Now we proceed with the False Position Method for each interval:

**Interval [0.2, 0.3]:**

Let $a_0=0.2,\ b_0=0.3$. Compute the iterations:

1. $a_1=a_0,\ b_1=b_0$
$$c_1=a_1-\frac{f(a_1)(b_1-a_1)}{f(b_1)-f(a_1)}=0.2-\frac{-0.440(0.3-0.2)}{-0.440-0.015}\approx0.276$$
$$f(c_1)\approx-0.078\qquad(\text{Choose }a_2=c_1,\ b_2=b_1)$$

2. $a_2=0.276,\ b_2=0.3$
$$c_2=a_2-\frac{f(a_2)(b_2-a_2)}{f(b_2)-f(a_2)}=0.276-\frac{(-0.078)(0.3-0.276)}{0.015-(-0.078)}\approx0.279$$
$$f(c_2)\approx0.002\qquad(\text{Choose }a_3=a_2,\ b_3=c_2)$$

3. $a_3=0.276,\ b_3=0.279$
$$c_3=a_3-\frac{f(a_3)(b_3-a_3)}{f(b_3)-f(a_3)}=0.276-\frac{(-0.078)(0.279-0.276)}{0.002-(-0.078)}\approx0.278$$
$$f(c_3)\approx-9.793\times10^{-7}\qquad(\text{Root within tolerance})$$

The root for [0.2, 0.3] is approximately $x\approx0.278$.

**Interval [1.2, 1.3]:**

Let $a_0=1.2,\ b_0=1.3$. Compute the iterations:

1. $a_1=a_0,\ b_1=b_1$
$$c_1=a_1-\frac{f(a_1)(b_1-a_1)}{f(b_1)-f(a_1)}=1.2-\frac{-0.426(1.3-1.2)}{0.151-(-0.426)}\approx1.219$$
$$f(c_1)\approx-0.111\qquad(\text{Choose }a_2=c_1,\ b_2=b_1)$$

2. $a_2=1.219,\ b_2=1.3$
$$c_2=a_2-\frac{f(a_2)(b_2-a_2)}{f(b_2)-f(a_2)}=1.219-\frac{-0.111(1.3-1.219)}{0.151-(-0.111)}\approx1.236$$
$$f(c_2)\approx0.020\qquad(\text{Choose }a_3=a_2,\ b_3=c_2)$$

3. $a_3=1.219,\ b_3=1.236$
$$c_3=a_3-\frac{f(a_3)(b_3-a_3)}{f(b_3)-f(a_3)}=1.219-\frac{-0.111(1.236-1.219)}{0.020-(-0.111)}\approx1.233$$
$$f(c_3)\approx-4.350\times10^{-5}\qquad(\text{Root within tolerance})$$

The root for [1.2, 1.3] is approximately $x\approx1.233$.

Thus, we find the approximate roots of the given function in the specified intervals as $x\approx0.278$ and $x\approx1.233$.
