Hi, Is this method broken in R? I am using it to find roots of the following function: f(x) = 2.5*exp(-0.5*(2*0.045 - x)) + 2.5*exp(-0.045) + 2.5*exp(-1.5*x) - 100 It is giving an answer of -38.4762403 which is not even close (f(x) = 2.903809e+25 for x=-38.4762403). The answer should be around 0.01-0.1. This function should converge.. Even for a simple function like f(x) = exp(-x) * x, it gives

I did a fourier transform on a function in time domain to get the following functions in frequency domain (in latex): $Y_1[\omega] = \frac{1}{1-\phi_1 e^{-jw}}$ $Y_2[\omega] = \frac{1}{1-(\phi_1 + \phi_2)e^{-jw} +\phi_1\phi_2e^{-2jw}}$ How do I find the spectrum of this function for given $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ coefficients and in the discretization interval $w = [-\pi:.1*\pi: \pi]$? Then, how
