Abstract

The Bisection, Newton and Horner’s method are used to compare the efficiency to solve nonlinear function such as trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and cubic polynomial function. Although these methods are considered as alternative, the methods also possess error compared to the exact value. The efficiency is measured by the error produced at the fixed iteration. The methods are converted into C language and executed by using maple 18.

##Keywords:## Bisection method, Newton method, Horner’s method.
