Consider the equation 8x^4 − 12x^3 + 6x^2 − x = 0. For each of the two solutions x = 0 and x = 1/2, decide whether the Bisection Method or Newton’s method will converge faster (say to eight place accuracy), without running the calculation.
I don't understand how to go about answering this question, I know that if Newtons method converges quadratically then it is faster than Bisection.
