* \brief Solve the equation \f$f(x)=0\f$ using [false position
* method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regula_falsi), also known as the Secant
* method
*
* \details
* First, multiple intervals are selected with the interval gap provided.
* Separate recursive function called for every root.
* Roots are printed Separatelt.
*
* For an interval [a,b] \f$a\f$ and \f$b\f$ such that \f$f(a)<0\f$ and
* \f$f(b)>0\f$, then the \f$(i+1)^\text{th}\f$ approximation is given by: \f[
* x_{i+1} = \frac{a_i\cdot f(b_i) - b_i\cdot f(a_i)}{f(b_i) - f(a_i)}
* \f]
* For the next iteration, the interval is selected
* as: \f$[a,x]\f$ if \f$x>0\f$ or \f$[x,b]\f$ if \f$x<0\f$. The Process is
* continued till a close enough approximation is achieved.
