Let a function f (x) ∈ C (r) [a, b], r 0, and take values that have different signs at the endpoints of the interval [a, b]. In the article, we propose effective methods for calculating real roots of the equation f (x) = 0 on the given interval [a, b]. We substantiate this method and make a comparison between this method and the chord and Newton methods. Bibliography: 13 titles.
