Relevant locators: §3.8(i), equation 3.8.3 and following definitions of local order of convergence; §3.8(iii), equation 3.8.6 and the Secant Method paragraph, which distinguishes the secant method from bracket-preserving alternatives. The derivations and calculations in the solutions are given independently.
