How to solve following equation?
Assume a = 1. If not set b = b/a, etc. Now use (1) uniroot
f <- function(x) b + c/(1+x) + d/(1+x)^2 - 1 - x uniroot(f, 0:1)
$root [1] 0.8392679 $f.root [1] 3.049818e-05 $iter [1] 3 $estim.prec [1] 6.103516e-05 or multiply through by 1+x and subtract 1 from both sides giving x = b + c/(1+x) + d/(1+x)^2 - 1 and iterate that.
a <- b <- c <- d <- 1
x <- 0
for(i in 1:25) {
+ x <- b + c/(1+x) + d/(1+x)^2 - 1 + print(x) + } [1] 2 [1] 0.4444444 [1] 1.171598 [1] 0.6725419 [1] 0.9553676 [1] 0.7729558 [1] 0.8821595 [1] 0.8135892 [1] 0.8554268 [1] 0.829437 [1] 0.8454056 [1] 0.835527 [1] 0.8416126 [1] 0.837854 [1] 0.8401717 [1] 0.838741 [1] 0.8396236 [1] 0.839079 [1] 0.839415 [1] 0.8392076 [1] 0.8393356 [1] 0.8392566 [1] 0.8393053 [1] 0.8392753 [1] 0.8392938

I need to solve a equation like this : a = b/(1+x) + c/(1+x)^2 + d/(1+x)^3 where a,b,c,d are known constant. Is there any R-way to do that?
