Test the false position algorithm described in Chapter 5 of Steven C. Chapra's textbook, Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists. The first test case uses the following problem on the interval [1 3].
f(x)=x^2-4=0
The first test will be a single iteration of false position. Other tests for varying termination criteria, intervals, and other functions will be added later.

A link to the "false position method" can be placed in the Challenge description.
The syntax is <webpage Your Descriptive Text>.
I found the algorithm at http://math.fullerton.edu/mathews/n2003/regulafalsi/RegulaFalsiProof.pdf
<http://math.fullerton.edu/mathews/n2003/regulafalsi/RegulaFalsiProof.pdf False Position Method> will create a link with a name. Spaces before the < and after the > are needed.
