SUMMARY
The method of false position, also known as Regula Falsi, is based on a geometric construction that involves linear interpolation between two points on a function. This method is utilized to find roots of equations by drawing a secant line between two points where the function has opposite signs. The intersection of this secant line with the x-axis provides an approximate root, which is iteratively refined. The geometric basis is crucial for understanding the convergence properties of the method.
