Very confused, I have basics
I have received this from my instructor. I am aware of how to create a function, but I'm not exactly sure what they are asking. I am also unsure on how to set up the actual calculations. Any suggestions?
Here is the problem:
Implement as a function the secant root-finding method described in section 10.1. If function secant does not converge to a root (successive approximations differ by less than 0.0001) in 25 iterations, have it display an error message and return 0. Call function secant from a function you define named nthRoot that should approximate the nth root of any constant c(squareroot of c to nth), given c and n. If xn = c, then xn -c= 0 and the nth root of c is zeor of the second queation. As your initial guesses, use X0=c and x1= c/n.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi littlemissb,
If you're not clear on the assignment it would be much more appropriate to talk to your instructor. If you get stuck coding the solution, you can come here for some hints.
Cheers
