Dear R Helpers, I need to find the root of following equation.
0.0016^2 = (0.001*x)^2 + (0.002 * (1-x))^2 + 2 * 0.7 *0.001*0.002 * x * (1-x). I had tried using "animation " package as follows. # My Code library(animation) ani.options(nmax = 500) solu = newton.method(function(x) 0.0016^2 - 0.001^2*x^2 - 0.002^2*(1-x)^2 - 2*0.7*0.001*0.002*x*(1-x), 1, c(-1,1)) solu$root # However, I am not getting the solution. Please guide.
