Wong is given a task to compute the point of intersection of the curve 10 cos x and √x with the help of the bisection method for x E [1,2]. By using an absolute approximate error of 0.5 x 10-1, write down the solution correct to six significant rounding digits. In your opinion, who would solve the problem faster if Ahmad and Arasu were given the task of calculating the above intersection point using the Newton Raphson and Secant methods, respectively?
