Write a simple program to find the root of f (x) = x3+2x2+10x−20 using the secant method with starting values x0 = 2 and x1 = 1. Let it run at most 20 steps, and include a stopping test as well. Compare the number of steps needed here to the number needed in Newton’s method. Is the convergence quadratic?
