Determines a zero of a 1D function close to two points with the help of the derivative of this 1D function. The two values form a search limit for the unknown zero of the 1D function. You must manually select the polymorphic instance to use.

Let f be the given function. The Newton Raphson Zero Finder VI uses a method that combines the simple midpoint strategy and the Newton strategy.

  • Midpoint strategy:
  • Newton strategy:

where x1 and x2 are given guesses with

f(x1) · f(x2) < 0

The following illustration demonstrates the Newton strategy.
