given f(x) = -2x^6 - 1.5x^4 + 10x +2. use a root location technique to determine the maximum of this function. perform iterations until the approximate relative error falls below 5%. if you use a braketing method use initial guesses of xl= 0 and xu= 1. if you use the newton raphson or the modified secant method, use an initial guess of xi= 1.if you use the secant method, use initial guesses of xi-1=0 and xi=1.assuming that the convergence is not an issue, choose the technique that is best suited for this problem. justify your choice.
