This document discusses several numerical methods for finding roots of equations, including the bisection method, false position method, fixed point method, Newton-Raphson method, and secant method. It provides an example of using the Newton-Raphson method to find the maximum deflection of a bookshelf beam. It also asks which function could be used with the fixed point method to find a root between 10 and 15 for the equation x3 - 30x2 + 2400 = 0. Finally, it provides an example of using the bisection method to find the root of the equation f(x)=3x+sinx-ex.
