Consider the function f(x) = rlogr-x+5. It is known that there is a minimum of f in the interval [0.5, 1.2]. (a) Apply Fibonacci search to estimate the minimum of f to within a tolerance of 0.1. (b) Apply Newton's Method to estimate the minimum of f starting from zº = 0.5. Stop when f'(x+1)| < 0.01 and use a tolerance of 0.001 to check the size of |ƒ"(rk)| at each iteration.
